Neither is the crushing realization that you will not be able to bake something you really want to bake.
Alas, this was our fate this morning. With deep longing, we ogled the recipe for Napoleons in Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Volume II). To our despair, we realized the complexity of puff pastry would not fit in our small window of time between practices.
Nearly choking back tears, we turned to Glazed Lemon Cookies, found in Baker's Illustrated as a more feasible alternative. These simple, fresh cookies turned out delightfully, and take very little time to prepare. Lemon lovers will swoon when they bite into these delicate, very lemony cookies!
Hopefully in the near future we will have enough time and patience to tackle the tricky puff pastry!
