Hey guys! Did you all have a nice Easter?
Yup, I realise it’s been weeks since Easter, but having the kiddos off school for 2 weeks tends to mess with my perfect un-organised schedule! 😆 Dude, I’mma still trying to catch up!
It’s “Mum” this, “Mum” that. I can’t even pee in peace lately! Just one of the reasons I usually bake in the evenings without any distractions.
Distractions, when you’re baking, can be the death of your desserts. Dashing off while your cake is mixing can result in an over beaten rock of a cake, or even charcoal cookies. #gross
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to these poor brownie cookies. Le sigh.
I dashed off to deal with one of the kiddos’, and although the oven switched itself off from the timer, I wasn’t able to remove them from the oven in time. They over baked in this still hot oven.
The moto of the story? Food bloggers have mishaps too! 😉
I know I don’t usually post baking blunders, but I thought I’d post these in all their, umm, glory! I mean, we all have moments but it doesn’t mean they’re ruined. And thank goodness the kiddos are back at school… I wouldn’t want to rename this blog Dessert Diasters would I? 😆
These cookies (when baked for the correct amount of time!) result in a delicious yet ooey gooey brownie cookie. A crisp and crunchy exterior with the most amazing oozing soft chocolate inner.
Pairing these cookies with peanut butter frosting is the most amazing combo too! Double the decadence too when sandwiched together!
Just be sure to pull them out of the oven on time though! 😉 Thank goodness the kidlets are back at school!
Be gone baking blunders!!
