Well, the bread was just edible, but my cookies turned out super! I'm trying to find the thread that I got the original cookie recipe off of, so I can post my results.
I think I may just have to stick to "gorditas" when it comes to bread. A gordita is basically a corn tortilla, but made by hand so it comes out thicker than normal. It's 'baked' on top the stove in a dry skillet, turning when needed, and then sliced with a sharp knife held parallel to the flat surface of the gordita so that it ends up with a pocket in its center, much like a pita bread. You then stuff the pocket with anything that suits your fancy. My Hispanic friends will stuff them with beans and cheese, meat, whatever. They'd probably be good even with seasoned rice stuffed in them.
Hugs,
