So, here I go, getting all enthused to do some Christmassy cooking, making a batch of lovely traditional Dutch spiced cookies called taai-taai. Hey, it's the season! The name, literally, means 'tough-tough', as they should be chewy when done. Well, hmm, something must have gone wrong because even though they were chewy when taken out of the oven, not 'alf an hour later they were rock (as in rock) hard! Now, could this be because I mistook 200g of honey for 200 mls? Or because I doubled the amount of honey (in mls, not g) because the dough was still too crumbly? I don't know. Any advice gladly received! In the meantime I will try another batch and do gs instead of mls.
