The other day I made shortbread for a friend that had helped me out with a project. I've made shortbread for this friend before so I wanted to make sure it wasn't just your average shortbread this time around. Since everywhere is now selling pumpkin spice everything, I figured why not do pumpkin spice shortbread.
I followed the recipe I found to a T but, once the cookies were out of the oven, they were lacking a certain flavor kick. So I dusted them with powdered sugar, cinnamon, and allspice.
I slept in on Saturday, which is what you're supposed to do, right? Well, despite the joy of sleeping in, I was feeling super sleepy in the afternoon so I decided some sugar was just what I needed. I went into Chocolatier Blue on 4th Street in Berkeley expecting to come away with some tasty candy but instead I found out they make ice cream sundaes. How could I resist a s'mores sundae with milk and dark chocolate ice cream, graham crackers that taste an awful lot like graham cracker short bread (which means they are delicious), and marshmallows toasted with blow torch? I managed a few photos before I devoured it.
