the BEST “OOPS” Cookie EVER!!!

Have you ever had a teeny-weensy cooking/baking mistake that completely ruined something you were excited about, something that took time and effort, something that was supposed to be so good?

And then?  It’s not.

My daughter and I had this experience yesterday.  We were trying to make this highly-anticipated, much raved about recipe from a friend.  Click {HERE} for the original recipe as shown on Pinterest.

Well, you know that teensy-weensy little baking mistake turned out to be a quadrupling the butter mistake.

I wrote all about what happened {HERE}.

That was yesterday.

I had so much cookie dough (like half of it) that I just had to figure out a way to use it.

And the results?

THEY ROCK!!!

Like seriously ROCK!

Now, I have to tell you, I had already tampered with the recipe.

But now it is a whole different cookie.  Which we like to call…
