Today is National Cookie Monster Day! If there's one thing I have never been successful at... it's baking cookies. Tonight I decided to make chocolate chip butterscotch. Prepare yourself.
I am a weirdo when I bake. I use all kinds of substitutions - spelt flour for white flour, honey for sugar, applesauce for oil... all wonderful for muffins! Not so great for cookies.
I have a roommate with tons of food allergies. For these cookies I opted to use roommate-friendly margarine, whole spelt flour, egg replacer, and leftovers of every sugary substance we had in the pantry: several honeys, brown rice syrup, and a little organic sugar.
Seeing the results, Meli reminded me of my dear cousin Rachel's many failed attempts at cookies. "It's the Sandford family curse!"
The photos speak for themselves....
I gave the plate of "cookies" to my brother. For the sake of humanity, I am no longer allowed to bake cookies. Back to muffins! Nonetheless, happy Cookie Monster Day!

Oh my goodness lol. We are going to have to fix these :)
ReplyDeleteYeah... after we saw the results of the 1st batch, I scooped some of the waiting cookie dough from the pan to make more room. Which is why the oven situation looks so very pathetic. :-p
ReplyDeleteThere was also a frog cookie cutter that came into play... tee hee
