You will still get a cute pattern and a tasty cookie!Īssembling the cookies is a very easy process: If you don't have a piping bag (or don't have the time!) you can roll the dough into small balls and flatten them with a fork. While these delicious cookies may look daunting, they are simple to make! The whirl shape is created with a wide star-tip piping nozzle (any variation will work).
Vanilla essence OR vanilla extract: adds a delicious sweet and fragrant flavour to these delicate cookies.Salted butter: it is okay to use salted butter if that is all you have, however it may reduce the sweetness of the final cookie.
Unsalted butter: the butter forms a significant part of the buttery shortbread and buttercream in this recipe.Buttery shortbread dough is piped into a whirl shape and then sandwiched together with buttercream and jam. Viennese Whirls are like a fancier cousin to melting moments. I would argue that these divine Viennese Whirls deserve a place on the plate as well! If I were a Kraft employee, I would have just made a big bonus for realizing that we could just have one production line instead of two for the both “regular†and vending size Chips Ahoy… just packaged differently.When you think of perfect morning tea treats, you may think of scones or jam tarts. So… the Chips Ahoy cookie is just one downsize away from being the same size as the vending machine version. The current-day Chips Ahoy cookie has become a pathetic, pale, wimpy version of its former self.Īlso, every time one of these companies tries to explain the pusification of their product with some BS slogan (that probably took a team of employees 3 days in a conference room to come up with) on the container like “Improved stay fresh packaging” it just reinforces my belief the Kraft takes its potential customers for a collective group idiots, which their consumer studies may actually prove to be the case! I’ve been eating these since I was about 25 (I’m now 56). And they did something fairly common when a product gets downsized, they printed a banner in the upper right hand corner of the package proclaiming “New Look”, which certainly can distract shoppers from checking the net weight statement.Īs always, these examples of downsizing point out the clever ways that manufacturers can pass on a sneaky price increase with many shoppers not even noticing. In this case, almost two ounces has been lopped off the Vienna Fingers package.
This is on top of their 2009 downsizing when each tissue shrank by a fraction of an inch. There are now ten fewer tissues in each Kleenex box. You now get over 10% less in each bottle of Dawn dishwashing liquid. When MrConsumer saw a Nabisco representative in a supermarket and pointed out the downsizing, she cleverly responded, “Look at it this way, you are saving calories!” This reduction of close to an ounce and half means you get two fewer cookies in each package. A new wave of downsizing has been hitting supermarket shelves over the past several months with everything from cookies to detergent packages shrinking in size.
