A photo of a bunch of golden-brown cut rounds (basically savoury scones) sitting on a cooling rack.

And finally, I made another batch of cut rounds!

A photo of what look like essentially scones sitting on a cooling rack.

I made cut rounds again, but didn't bother trying to roll the dough into a cylinder and cut it and instead just ripped 60g chunks off, and they really rose up this time! I think I was just mushing them too much last time (they were totally flat).

I guess they're just "rounds" now rather than "cut rounds". 😛

A photo of cut rounds sitting on a cooling rack. They're basically like scones except mine are flat and haven't risen at all.

There's this British historian and TV presenter Ruth Goodman who's done a whole bunch of docos about life on farms during various periods in history. She did one series called "Edwardian Farm" and during it they made a thing called "cut rounds", basically like a savory scone. I found a recipe and made them, and while mine didn't rise much, they're REALLY yummy! The recipe I followed was this one.

I'm not remotely a person who knows about baking so I don't know why they didn't rise (needs more baking powder maybe?), but they WERE nice and moist inside and not like hockey pucks!

A photo of a bunch of chocolate chunk cookies sitting on a cooling rack. The ones on the left are FAR TOO BIG.

I made those rosemary chocolate chunk cookies again, this time I learnt how to properly brown the butter, and HOT DAMN are they good! I screwed up the sizing of the first batch again though (have made a proper note now), and had to chop the chocolate smaller because I'd have run out!

A photo of a bunch of small button-shaped chocolate cookies sitting on a cooling rack. The ones are the back are a bit munted, they're lumpy and more spread out than the ones in the front.

I made chocolate butter cookies! And continued my tradition of fucking up the first batch, this time because I didn't realise they were meant to be rolled into a ball in the palm of your hand. Ah well, won't affect the flavour!

A photo of two cooling racks with cookies on them. The cookies on the cooling rack on the left are MUCH larger than the rest of them.

I made rosemary chocolate chunk cookies! And uh, slightly misjudged the size of the dough balls in the first batch. 😅

A photo of a batch of cookies sitting on a cooling rack. They're round and very flat, with five chunks of dark chocolate on top of each one.

Kristina made rosemary chocolate-chunk cookies and OMG. Crack a smidge of salt over them, droool.
