Anyone made Juliano's Cashew butter fudge cookies?

I just attempted to make this very expensive recipe and it obviously didn't turn out right, even though I followed it exactly. It says to shape the dough into cookie shapes on the mesh of the dehydrator. The "dough" was almost as liquid as water, so I obviosuly didn't attempt that. I did try to put them on disposable dehydrator sheets and they all spread out like puddles of water.

Has anyone managed to make this recipe? There's even a variation where he says to omit one of the solid ingredients, I guess he forgot to mention you should drink it and not attempt to make cookies with it.

I really wonder if these chefs actually try their recipes or if they just write jibberish on paper without testing if it actually works. At least I think this is the first Juliano recipe that "failed" (it will still make cookies but they'll be paper thin).

I haven't made this recipe, but I HAVE made dough that is too watery Whenever my dough turns out too liquid-y, I dehydrate until I can gather the ingredients into a dough and then I roll them and make them into cookies. If you dehydrate for a while, enough liquid should come out for you to make real cookie-like cookies.

hi,
Yeah, Juliano's recipe was so disappointing sorry you tried it and it didn't turn out either, wrote a post on here bout that. The good news is I have made it with great success and like two of the measurements just seemed to be mixed up, can't remember what was mixed up exactly, but thought it was the maple and carob powder (I would look at my book but it is packed since I just moved sorry)

btw I substituted cacao powder for the carob and they really are out of this world !

I don't understand, you say they both didn't turn out and turned out great. Do you mean you tried it two different times with different results?

You made it with Cacao? There's a cup of it in there, that would be nearly $10 worth, and if you say you switched maple syrup and carob that would be 2 cups of cacao! I'm WAY too broke not to put $15 of one ingredient in a recipe!
