The July Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network.
Unfortunately this month was somewhat busy for me (further post to follow as to part of the reason why!), so I couldn't devote as much time as I would have liked to completing these two recipes. Luckily we had the option of doing just one recipe if necessary, so I wimped out and went for the easy option of Milan Cookies - lemon/vanilla tuile-like biscuits with a chocolate ganache filling. They were pretty tasty, and I'd certainly like to try these and the marshmallow cookies (essentially Tunnock's teacakes) when I have a bit more free time. Home-made marshmallow sounds particularly interesting!
Once again, many of the Daring Bakers did some fantastic variations on this month's challenge. Stick the first paragraph of this post into Google and see what I mean!! I'm looking forward to seeing what August has to bring...
