How did I miss seeing this? They look amazing! I’ve tried piping chocolate before and never had any success. Did you thin the white chocolate at all? These look so great and I like the idea of maple syrup in them, too.

Thank you! Funny — I didn’t have the patience to measure the first time around and wondered why I only got five cookies per “log.” After that, I used the ruler for the first one and just eyeballed all the others.

These look lovely! I don’t think I would have the patience to measure. But it looks like your patience paid off with such pretty cookies!

Great story, Ross — love it when a thrift store find proves valuable as well as meaningful. Thanks for including the link to Robyn’s site, too — the “New Year Enso” is a fave.

I found an enso in a thrift store for a dollar and had it framed (for $80) then sent the image to Robyn Buntin (an Asian Art expert in Honolulu) who informed me that (1) I had it upside down and (2) he was having a well known authority on Enso paintings in his shoppe the following weekend. We went to meet him and learned SO much about the paintings. He had some really nice examples in his shop. http://www.robynbuntin.com/Zen/default.asp
As for my thrift store find, he recognized it and the artist and noted that it was part of a calendar, but a calendar that was exquisitely made and given to someone important. The image was valued at about $75-100, but that was unframed. We love its simplicity and its power.

So glad it worked for you, Raquel (good to know about suede too) — thanks for letting me know!

Hi! Just letting you know that I just used this on a pair of shoes made from both leather and suede and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for posting this!
