We had a Cookie FAIL at the Kauffman house last night as I prepared my contribution for a friend's fundraiser. I hope it is not an omen for the cause.
It's not as though I haven't made these cookies many, many times before. With the same recipe. On the same stove. With same ingredients. On the same cookie sheet.
The good news is that while they were certainly not fundraiser material--all the cookies looked like they joined together like Voltron to form some sort of mega cookie, though the cookie dough appeared to chicken out and retreat behind the chocolate chips at the last minute--they still did not go to waste.
The kids and I happily gorged ourselves on "Squishy Cookies" today. I hope they don't get too fond of the Squishy Cookie concept. If I don't know what I did to get them unintentionally, I may not be able to repeat them intentionally.
Now that is making lemonade out of lemons, right there!
Thanks, Dana!
I believe we figured out the problem a miscalculation on the flour. (I may have skipped a few scoops.)
I may repeat this experiment slightly by doing the cookies the right way next time only with a tad less flour (instead of much less) to retain the chewy goodness of the Squishy Cookies.
