And here we are at week 5 of the Sunday Slow Bakers. It being Mother's Day weekend, I had company in the kitchen this week; once again it was a Saturday morning project and my son was home from Sacramento, awaking about the time I was ready to put the dough in the fridge to firm up. Later, his sister and her husband rolled in for breakfast and after that, it was time to bake.
I thought that these were a realitive breeze to make, and only required hunting down some semolina flour at Bristol Farms. I even found a lemon in the yard and a bottle of limoncello in the fridge. Mine turned out a bit thinner than some others I have seen in pictures, and I also found I needed to take them out of the oven a minute or so early as the edges and bottoms were already a nice brown. I will definitely make these again.
I think I will not be baking next week, as we will be in Toronto for David's medical school reunion, and the next few days just look too busy. However, I would like to try the next recipe, so maybe some catchup will take place.
With love from the kitchen . . .

Marcia, your cookies look lovely. I think that your flatter cookies are more like Gina's in the book. It is funny how some of us ended up with the more dome shaped ones.

Great pictures! I think the reason mine were 'dome-like' is I realized I only used half of the butter! ARGH

Hmm...need to check Jerry's blog - if he only used half the butter, and he still liked them, might be worth the change.
Marcia, I'm doing catchup - just did the grappa cakes last Friday and still need to do the Grissini but since I picked next week's choice, I guess I better make it on time. :D
