Save the Cookies

December 18, 2008 9:30 PM

Christmas Cookies Disasters filter: I was making Aunt Sis's Strawberry Tart Cookies, Gourmet's favorite from 1993. They spreaded into flat disks.

Same thing happened to this person.
Luckily, I didn't fill them with jam. So, now I have bunch of ugly, but tasty cookies. They are not really presentable, so I don't want them in my Christmas Cookie Box. I was thinking of blending them, and use the cookie crumbs in another recipe. Or something like that. What do you do with your unfortunate cookies?

Mash them up and sprinkle them over ice cream.

Keep them for myself.

You can use the crumbs in other holiday recipes like rum balls.

I eat the ugly cookies. It just means more cookies for me.
But you could dip yours in chocolate to make them look better.

npr had a cloying segment on how to prevent these cookie problems, some good info though.

spread more jam on a cookie, top with another upside down cookie. Dip in chocolate, let harden on wax paper.
