My mission: Butterfinger-Chunk Cookies.
From this cookbook:
Unfortunately, I confused two very important ingredients:
Which lead to a Cookie Catastrophe! 😯
Flat, lifeless cookies.
On Cookie Friday of all days!!!
How very sad.
Someone please make these cookies (with baking powder) and let me know how they come out. I’m eating my pathetic-looking cookies right now, and I’m dying to know.

Awww sad day! I’ve done that mistake before too! 🙁
Don’t feel bad. In 7th grade home ec, I was supposed to make pancakes using 1.5 tsp of baking powder but misread and used 1.5 cups of baking soda. With cookies, you can sometimes use them interchangeably and still get a good result. Sorry it didn’t work out that way today. 🙁
Hate when that happens! Hope they taste okay!
Aww what a bummer! I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve done that.
I think we need to start a movement to have one of the two renamed so that they don’t sound so similar! 😉
Tina, they still look good! I would definitely crumble them up & toss them over ice cream (if I want to be naughty) or yogourt (if I want to be nice)! Enjoy!
Perhaps a good yogurt topper?
I’ve made that mistake before! But it was with a moist cake, which came out terribly flat. Did the cookies taste okay though?
Oh NO!
I say, just crush ’em up and use them to put on top of yogurt or oatmeal! 🙂
I have done this so many times! It’s always a disappointment. The good news is that they will still taste yummy.
Aww 🙁 It can happen to anyone! I have had so many cookie catastrophes in my life, it’s not funny. (They are just not my thing, apparently!)
Good luck with your run today, Tina.
LOL!! I did that 2 times in a row trying to make my hubby cup cakes for his birthday. I kept wondering why they didn’t puff up – I reviewed the ingredients a billion times then finally I realized it and they came out perfect!
I do that way more than I’d like to admit (which is funny, because the boxes are so different.) I admire your perseverance to eat them anyway 😉
That may be the saddest cookie story since the urban legend of the Cookie Monster’s name being changed to the Veggie Monster.
Oh no! That was like when I first tried my sister in laws famous chocolate chip cookies and instead of putting in salt, she accidentally grabbed the pepper shaker.
Were they salvagable??
I always have to stop and think when either baking soda or baking powder is in a recipe cos I know how easy it is to confuse them!
