MSNative Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So, I tried a new recipe for cookies:http://www.foodreference.com/html/a109-cookie-exchange.html. Look at the cute ones with a kiss inside drizzled with choc. Unfortunately, mine did not stay in dough ball shape, have spread and now look like bOOks. Not a little bit - a lot! Do I: Take them anyway and pretend they don't look both stupid and somewhat obscene Stick a red m&m in the center and work it Quick run to the store and throw some store bought ones on a plate Pour Kahlua in my coffee and bring some to share with others All of the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) We need a picture. :D (Okay my real answer is take them anyway, they are probably not as bad as you think they are. Don't put red M&M's on them, don't comment on their looking like booKs, and whatever you do, don't arrange them in pairs haha. But still I am curious, so post a picture)!

BarbecueMom Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think the red M&M would make it look worse, lol. If it makes you feel better, my kiss-filled snowballs did the same thing this year. I chilled the dough... then left the cookie sheet sitting on the warm oven. Then because they weren't ball shaped, my 3yo thought they were supposed to be flat, so he smashed half of them down with a spatula. They still taste good!

Amie Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Can you melt the tops more?? Hmm, do you have any sprinkles and would there be a way to apply them now?? I'd have to see what you're talking about, but my first thought of the red M&M seemed it would only make it worse...but I guess not if you think it will work...?

emzhengjiu Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 From TeA cozies to bOOks in one morning! I woke up feeling blah so thanks for making my day much brighter! I did have to explain to my 14 yo DD why I was laughing so hard. Take the cookies and the Kahlua. It will be a wonderful party, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the cute ones with a kiss inside drizzled with choc. Oh, I see ... it has a 3D topo effect going for it also. Funny! I would warm up a cookie sheet, place the cookies upside down on them, compress with spatula, and sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar Edited December 14, 2011 by mirth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you going to package these for transport? Do you have a pretty Christmas or holiday cookie tin? Paper Doilies or pretty wrapping paper cut to fit the tin? The most you will need are some little cupcake papers or you can skip those. You need red and green or silver kisses, little candy canes, peppermint candies -- use your inagination. Layer the cookies in the tin and sprinkle with christmas candy, peppermint candy, etc. If you have peppermint candy, take some and crush them to a fine powder and sprinkle them over the cookies after the tin is filled. Do you have red or green or white wrapping shred? Curling ribbon? Either of those will work -- sprinkle it here and there over the cookies -- don't worry about the cookies. They will be fine -- I went to a cookie xchange last week and two different people each brought a bag of Chips Ahoy and a bag of Vienna Fingers. Your cookies will be great -- just remember: it's all in the presentation. Look how much $$$ Martha Stewart has made with that philosophy!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew y'all could help me. Ok, I took a pic and will figure out how to post it after the party so y'all can all see. In the meantime, I am trying the cook more, flatten the center and camo with sprinkles. Will also try to find a dark corner to place my cookie tray. Y'all are the best. Since I am a terrible baker, I'm sure I will have other baking mishaps, so please keep the ideas coming. Plus, they are making my day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSNative Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Argh. Ok, use small words. How do I post a pic here? I can either get it so huge that it causes my computer to freak out, or it just comes up as a file name. FTR - I brought one plate of the cookies in and the ladies cracked up. Several were perturbed because I did not bring in kahlua. Still very glad I didn't since the pastor and office staff of the church (where my co-op meets but not my church) came in to judge the cookie contest.

Julie in CA Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Oh. Wow. :lol: Reminds me of the time I was making meatballs and cocktail weenies for a party. Since I was putting the same sauce on both of them, I decided to dump them both in the same crock pot together {sigh}. Umm...yeah. They looked obscene all together. My five teenagers heard me giggle, and peeked in the crockpot for themselves. They were totally :eek: and insisted that we could NOT show up for a party with that. We were a little late for the party--it takes some time to sort, separate, and segregate 5 lbs. of meatballs and 3 lbs. of cocktail weenies so that they don't look like little...male parts. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
