Just call me Betty Crocker.

For about a week or so now, I have been craving a snickerdoodle cookie. These are probably my favorite cookies, ever. So, being the baker that I am I decided to make some homemade snickerdoodle cookies last night. Admit it, that cookie above looks yummy and you want one, right? Yep, me too... because that is most definately NOT the way my cookies turned out.

So, I got my directions off the internet. They sound pretty simple...I mix all my ingredients together in a bowl. It is looking pretty good. However, I notice that the mix is quite runny. The recipe tells me to roll the mix in 2 in balls.


This is not possible. The mix was SO moist I simply dropped a little from the spoon directly into my bowl of cinnamon and sugar and rolled it around.


So, when I finally got it onto the pan it was like a little blob of....something.



So, I decide that on my next batch I will just add some more flour so the mix is a little more consistent so I can actually roll the mix into a ball and into my cinnamon/sugar mixture. At this point, it still isn't working out too well so I add MORE flour. Finally I am able to pick it up and roll it into a ball. My dear husband comes in and I say to him "this isn't working out so well" to which he replies "I will eat them". Bless him.

Once in the oven they are looking pretty good. Huh?

Then, the final moment comes and I get them out of the oven and try to get them off the pan to which they are very attached too. They crumble, I taste, they aren't horrible but definately not like the snickerdoodle I have been dreaming about.

My dear husband comes in again and I say "they are awful" to which he replies "put them in my lunch, I will eat them" because he is a firm believer that NO food should go to waste. Even ruined cookies. He even said that they tasted good. :)

Look at them...guess I got carried away on the flour. Cake anyone??
