What a wonderful story:)<br />I loved the crispy brown edges and ate them all by myself:) I scored the cookie with the fork, dutifully - it has to be because of my mother who used a fork all the time to make pretty wiggles on the cakes:) But I love your idea - were the dough a bit sturdier, you would have done it in seconds, while I labored like a slave!<br />BTW, you make your own sauerkraut?

I have to tell you that if I was your lucky guest I would have been nothing but impressed with this cheese accompanyment. I thought there was a fig spread (can you tell I still have Beggar's Linguine on the brain ?) in one of your shots and when you said you served it with cheese. Yum.

A bit of a departure, but why not? My current obsession is a cracker at Trader Joes with Rosemary, nuts and raisins - a little sweet-ish almost melba-toast like thing (that sounds WAY awful, now that I see the description - but WAY good).<br /><br />I love your innovation on the scoring - I just resorted to a huge knife... practically as long as the "cookie" was wide. <br /><br />Good for you on your improvisation!!

I used the back of a fork and just dragged it. I redragged through the edge tine for the next set of lines just to make it straight. <br />Cookies with brie for an appetizer makes me smile.

Because Dorie didn't say how to make the marks, at first I started to make them by pressing my fork in and then lifting it up, over and over. Then I realized I could just lightly drag my fork across the surface which worked so much better.
