Misfortune Cookies

My friend Alexa and I both love to bake and we love baking together. Whenever we are together we create our own recipes or alter already existing ones. Our products usually end in success taste wise, not always looks wise. The other day when I was at Alexa’s house, we decided to alter a snickerdoodle cookie recipe. We have played with that recipe before and thought that we could recreate what we had made a year ago. We were far off. We started adding the ingredients that we could remember and the ones that we thought would complement the other ingredients. The cookie dough tasted great and even better than before, so we started to cut shapes and ad a cinnamon and sugar spread on top. We were able to account for everything but how much the individual cookies would spread. After opening the oven to check on them we saw our different cookies massed into one giant rectangle, pan size. Even though they didn’t look attractive, we knew they would taste great. But our misfortune continued. Alexa and I are both terrified of spiders, and Alexas cat Spooky loves to chase anything that moves that is smaller than him. A spider ran across our cookie tray within a couple of minutes of it being out of the oven, causing Alexa and I to back away from the cookies. Of course the cat decided to chase the spider. Our poor cookies were fed to the birds that day. At least it was fun to make. BEFORE AFTER
