School potluck tonight...each class is assigned a type of dish to bring, teachers are told to bring whatever they want. Despite the fact that my fridge is overflowing, there was nothing in there that I could make to bring. So I decided to make some cookies.
I was going to use my chocolate-chip cookie recipe, and add quick oats. I ended up modifying my oatmeal-raisin recipe instead...and adding butterscotch chips instead of raisins.
Here's what they looked like before they went in the oven:
Here's what they looked like when they came out of the oven:
And here's what they looked like after I tried to remove them from the pan:
tastes fine, looks disastrous
Talk about culinary disaster...I was tempted to give up...but I couldn't go to a potluck empty-handed. So I made batch #2. With about twice as much flour. Instead of 1 cup, I put in 1 3/4 or 2.
I took the cookie pieces from batch #1 and pressed them into a brownie pan...then cut them into bars.
I put the bars in the bottom of a tin and stacked all the cookies on top. The tin was overflowing when I brought it to school (couldn't fit the lid on).
When I brought the tin back home it looked like this: just a few cookies left, and even some of the bars got eaten. Hooray. I also got some compliments on how amazingly delicious they were. So I guess my culinary disaster turned out alright after all...
