How to Make Icebox Meltaway Cookies! | Bake Along w/ Anna Olson

[@ArmhelFuensalidaTan]

Hi anna! It's been a long time since I've seen u. My sister and I always watch u bake on TV (baking w/ anna olson) a few years back, and we always enjoy them (my sis likes to bake). I'm glad I saw u again! You're a bit different now but ur recipes are always the best

[@sherrygaley4675]

I just made these Anna - and bar none they are the shortest shortbread I’ve ever tasted. Unbelievable! I’m glad I searched for the potato starch. Got it at Bulk Barn. Worth the trouble!

[@winestains]

My new favourite Christmas cookie! I'm glad I searched out the potato starch. I made mine plain with just the vanilla and finished them with a daub of icing and a glazed cherry. "Meltaway" is a perfect name! Thanks Anna!

[@KarleneA380]

That empty paper towel tube tip is such a great idea. Thank you!

Looks so yummy!

[@GwynEllisHughes]

Dear Ms. Olson. I'm in the UK. And have been watching your series called 'Bake'. I know that was years ago! Was there ever a book released to accompany the series? I'd love to be able to lay my hands on a copy. I come from a very long line of bakers and confectioners here in the UK. And I loved your 'Bake' programs, with your clear step by step instructions. With very best wishes from North Wales. 😊

[@ohyum]

I do have a number of cookbooks, including "Bake with Anna Olson" from the series. My most recent book is "Baking Wisdom", and I do have a holiday book, "Set for the Holidays". All available on Amazon.

[@sallydsouza167]

I am going to bake them. Tks

[@allisonferber5474]

These look wonderful. I love that you made them by hand, so satisfying. I am wondering if the blueberries are hard when you bite into the cookie. Thanks.

[@NorthernMike-1]

Why would they be hard? I can’t see any reason for them to harden up. Blueberries are baked in doughnuts ant pound cakes and don’t harden up!

[@NorthernMike-1]

Sorry I now came to the part where I am told the blueberry is dried. They will have the consistency of a dried Apricot or Cranberry. A bit more chewy than hard!

[@Carstley63]

You're ready to have another one .... or six. LOL you're so cute!

[@sweetpinkkitchen]

Awesome ❤

[@trishakashyap5877]

Can we add crushed peppermint instead of blueberries for a holiday flavor

[@ohyum]

Definitely!

[@Trina_White]

omg hi Anna! Love from Regina

[@CoolReality]

Thank you for the recipe. Can I add chopped dark chocolate instead dried blueberries?

[@NorthernMike-1]

Who’s making this? Who’s eating this? Who bought the ingredients? If the answer to the above questions are YOU. Then yes YOU can! 😂

[@kathryngalajda3553]

I place chocolate chunks (Toblerone bar) on top of the cookies just before they go into the oven

[@CoolReality]

Thank you 🙏

[@ohyum]

Definitely! :)

[@heidid2346]

If you don’t have lemons for zest can you replace it with lemon flavouring, and if so, how much to equal the zest of one lemon?

[@bailaschwartz4080]

Hi love to watch u bake, what’s your recipy for a real marengue 3 layer

[@markcummings6856]

Look delicious. Thanks for the great recipe!

[@cilasheibani6909]

Delicious ☕can we use plant base butter? (Bacel)🦋🇨🇦

[@ohyum]

Yes you can, if it's designed for baking (not the style in a tub).

[@cilasheibani6909]

@ohyum Thank you so much for answering my question.Enjoying your teaching in Tv and KZbin for so many years.🦋🌿

[@nitasaigal]

HELLO ANNA, WANTED TO ASK WHERE TO POST PIKS OF THE PRODUCTS WE MAKE WITH YOUR RECIPES.THANKS

Can young use Tapioca starch? Or is the effect not the same? Thanks...

[@swilsher]

Question at the grocery store they have freeze dried blueberries, is that the same as dried blueberries or if not will the freeze dried work?

[@ohyum]

Freeze dried would work - they might break down a little when you mix them in, but they would soften up as the dough chills and be very tasty, I should think.

[@fedentler]

You're my childhood ❤

Six, six! Greetings from Uruguay!

[@louzammit3281]

What can i use instead of potatoe starch?

[@al_f.miami.semperefideles2879]

Sorry missed the cookie lesson ….wonder if u could comment on the walnut and fig Turkish cookie.. could u substitute dates instead of figs and how much dates weight wise ?

[@ohyum]

Dates would work wonderfully in that cookie, and I would use the same amount by weight, since their moisture content is comparable (use Medjool, if you can).

[@Trina_White]

I want to make these with walnuts and craisins or just cranberries, I wish my notifications worked, I'm always late for lives

[@ohyum]

I'll be here with a livechat Monday Dec 2nd at noon ET!

[@ammikakitchen6054]

Please red velvet crumbl cookie recipe too

[@asmatavousi5339]

Can potato starch be replaced by corn starch? Please :)

[@sanazintheuniverse]

❤❤

[@kapkap1199]

Hi Anna, could you make gluten-free cookies with rice flour, please. Thank you!

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

wow and peace be upon you from me

[@coolrb4506]

I think the icing sugar and flour should be mixed in small batches so that it easier to mix with the spatula.

[@safaasofi9455]

❤❤❤

[@blancaadame7247]

👍😋😋

[@pamelavance648]

Substitute for potato starch please 😊

[@ohyum]

Cornstarch or tapioca starch can be used, but aim for the potato starch if you can.

[@pamelavance648]

​@ohyum thank you 😊

[@jocelynco1624]

can we turn this into chocolate or matcha?

[@ohyum]

Yes - replace 2-3 Tbsp of the flour with cocoa, or 1 Tbsp of Matcha

[@jocelynco1624]

@ohyum thank you so much, Chef Anna.

[@conniemurphy5439]

What is icing sugar, confectioner's?

[@NorthernMike-1]

Yes also know as Powdered Sugar

[@coolrb4506]

Has corn flour added to give a lighter texture😊

[@jossong3301]

Yes, it's also called, Confectioner's sugar

[@klani1309]

Please tackle Sourdough!

[@kellysherrard257]

where did u buy the blueberries? I purchased them at Costco once and they were dehydrated so much they were like little hard pebbles ready to break off your teeth so i threw them out.

[@pattyvester1320]

I found them at a bulk store.

[@eduardoandasol2854]

Six, definitely six

[@coolrb4506]

[@fredacortes5821]

I'm late so watching on replay,, what are the proper measurements please

[@makingbiscuits24-7]

Recipe is in the description.

[@maralkarimi8531]

لطفا با دوبله فارسی بگذارید مثل شبکه gem

[@shyamalarajan-vince6405]

Why is this called icebox? Thanks.

[@jossong3301]

It's meant to be stored first in the icebox (fridge) for a few days before baking it.

[@AGuzumakiuzu]

Thanks a lot for the ​info @jossong3301

[@scotsam7590]

These didn't work out for me. They look fine, but truly not very sweet even when it was at the butter and sugar blend stage. It wasn't very lemon flavor either. The baked cookie isn't really 'melt away', it's kind of floury (if that's a word). I used the metric measurements throughout. Maybe the sugar grams are wrong and it needs more? I also wonder if rice flour would be better than potato starch - I truly don't know. I've tried some of your other baked goods and they worked great. Hope you don't mind honest feedback. xo P.S. You can remove this comment after you've read it.
