100811 Cigarettes Russes


This recipe was actually fun to make, even though it was quite involved. Definitely time consuming and one needs to move fast once the cookies are out of the oven. I baked 3 cookies at a time and constantly had to oil the wooden spoon handle between rolling each cigarette;otherwise, the cookie will stick to the handle and refuse to come off. Surprisingly, the batter was easy to spread on the baking sheet - must use an offset spatula. Keep an eye on the oven because they bake fast! It was easier to make short fat cigarettes as opposed to long skinny ones - I guess you can call them cigar russes (fitting for my husband)!!
