So, I made the manjarblanco.I did have to add water a few times, but I'm pleased to report there were no explosions. It tasted really good, but really could have used another 30-60 minutes to really be thick enough to be used as filling.

Bryan made the cookies, but we didn't have proper butter or margarine, only Smart Balance Light, which is only about 30% vegetable oils. The cookies were not the right consistency at all, and unfortunately they were a smidge undercooked too. Not a good thing.

So they didn't turn out, but I'm not giving up. After the move we'll try it again!
