This year, I made these cookies three separate times, but they just weren't right. They were a little too puffy, not crisp enough, they were just wrong.
But, today is the Epiphany, so Christmas really isn't over, and I tried it again. My Gramma used to mix everything by hand so I decided to use the bread hook on the stand mixer instead of the mixing paddle in hopes that I could get the consistency of the cookies closer...
They won't ever be Gramma's cookies, but they are pretty damn close. I have already eaten 6.

Those cookies look pretty darn good to me. The same thing happens to me every St Patrick's Day when I try to replicate my Grandmother's soda bread. It's inevitable that we'll be eating soda bread well into April again this year until I get it just right.
Gramma's have a knack for making the best of anything. Of course I always forget that they also had many more years of practice behind them. I love soda bread!
