Cookie Fail

As we begin a new year, I thought I would begin with a baking FAIL. What could be better? I can only go up from here.

I usually have chocolate chip cookies in my freezer- they stay remarkably fresh frozen, and I always have a cookie at my disposal when I need one (which is pretty much every day). I like them frozen better too. I also like frozen grapes and peas, but that's obviously another subject.

Well, today I did not have any cookies in the freezer, and I needed one, so I thought I would try this idea I saw on Pinterest for cookie bowls. You turn a cupcake pan upside down and put cookie dough on the bottoms, bake, and voila! Cookie bowls for ice cream. If you look at the picture and DON'T READ THE RECIPE, as I obviously did, you would think at first glance that these are chocolate chip cookies. So that's what I did.

And this is the result:

I went back to the link and read that it's actually SUGAR cookies (not sure what those black specs are in the picture). And it's probably a special crunchy kind that doesn't spread as much. Anyway, mine tasted awesome. Warm, gooey and chocolatey. I think I will go have another.

Oh, and this post is also for those of you who think everything I bake turns out perfect. Just keeping it real!
