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.

Please tell me they taste better than they look…;-)
Solution for these: Break them apart, put the crumbs in melted chocolate, and call them cookie truffles.
I’m sure they taste good though, I mean there is Butterfinger in there!!! Yum!
That is totally something I would do. Something else I would do? Just grab a few butterfingers leftover in that bag. 😀
Well good to know I’m not the only one 😉
I once confused salt for sugar…that was even more of a total recipe fail. But really…who puts salt in a big canister out on their counter?! 🙂
Haha aww such a common mix up, I think we’ve all done it!
At least they’re edible!! We hade a pie catastrophe on Thanksgiving {of ALL days!!} one year- we accidentally switched SUGAR and SALT {!!!} in our pumpkin pie!! Yeah…a tps of sugar and a 1 1/4 cup salt!
I love that you blogged your disaster!
As long as they taste okay it’s not a total failure!! 😀
Trust me, we all have disasters like that. Hopefully they still taste good!
OH my gosh, what a way to ring in cookie friday! yum!
Oh no! Looks like something I would do too…
I bet they’re still tasty!
LOL, I think everyone’s done this at least once! Another problem I’ve had is using “old” baking powder. Apparently if you only use it once a year, after a few years it kinda doesn’t work so well….
I bet they still taste good though – IT’S BUTTERFINGER!!
If they taste good, put them in a bag and use a mallet to crush them. I bet they’d make a great topping for ice cream, yogurt, or oatmeal.
I think Jenna over at Eat, Live, Run rolled a baking disaster into balls and then coated them in chocolate to make truffles-they looked amazing!
Haha.. I have soooo done this before! Flat everytime!
I say crumble them up, sprinkle them on butter pecan ice cream, and make Butterfinger sundaes! [Chocolate sauce VERY necessary.]
Omg that SUCKS!!!! The first thing that I think is not that they’re flat, but that possibly all those scrumptious butterfingers may be going to waste..oh the horrors 🙂
I think everyone has confused baking powder vs. soda before. So sorry it happened…on cookie Friday!
My huge to-do Christmas list keeps me up late and keeps me from sleeping well. Sorry to hear about the cookies, especially with being tired. I’m with ya on that one today 😉
LMAO oh no cookie fail! I’m sorry about your cookies…but thanks for making me laugh out loud at my desk! This is soooo something that I would do.
Bummer! I just did post on the difference : http://continuingmyeducation.wordpress.com
I never really knew how important it was before i did some research! Sorry about the cookie friday fail 🙁
Oh no!!! I’d be totally lying if I said I hadn’t made the same error before. The good news is you probably won’t do it again! Hope your afternoon goes more smoothly 🙂
aw tina! they look like potato pancakes lol 🙁 hope they are still delish!!
haha – it’s happened to me, too. I bet they still taste good, though! Maybe crumbled up on some banana soft serve or ice cream? mmmm.
Oh no!!! I’m sorry but I couldn’t stop laughing! This is so me…..I hope your day gets better 🙂
boo! that happens to me often, but for me its because of high altitude. I bet they still taste great. I agree with Dorry, crumble them on something. I hope your days starts turning around for the better.
Oh no! that has happened to me before..luckily they are still tasty as can be 😉
They look flat, but how do they taste? I bet they are still good 🙁
Oh, I totally did that last year when I baked sugar cookies for my coworkers! Luckily they were still tasty, but they looked utterly pathetic.
It’s not a catastrophe if they are edible! It’s a partial success!
awww I did the same thing a few months ago trying to make pumpkin muffins – it didn’t turn out well for me either!!
Oh no…I would just dump the cookies and eat the butterfingers. Or you could crumble the cookies up (since they are crunchy) and top them over ice cream, yogurt, oatmeal…something?
I’ve so been there. And welcome to why I don’t bake. Cook yes, bake NO.
Bummer ! Blame it on the lack of sleep.
Very sad to see all those butterfingers perish. I recently had a flat cookie fail, it doesn’t make me feel good!
Oh no! Do they at least taste ok?
Oh well, at least they taste good?! That reminds me… Cookie Friday!!
oh no! what a disappointment 🙁 did they at least taste okay?
🙂 it happens!
They actually look like yummy crackers. 🙂
Ugh I hate when the best laid plans go wrong! I am DEFINITELY not a baker, this would have undoubtedly been my fate!!
xooxx
Sara
ps) if it were me i would probably still sample 5…. 😉
Oh poooh. I hate when I do that. But the good news is, you can make them again – and they will be great! Time is the only issue I have with a do-over! Have a terrific weekend. and Happy Baking!
I made a cake once and forgot the baking powder (baking soda? can’t remember which one) entirely. The cake came out maybe 1/4 inch thick…total fail! So I feel your pain!
Hey Tina~ You could put your favorite ice cream in the middle and make sandwiches:)
Most importantly, how do they taste? 🙂
Oh no! I have done that before, what a bummer. Hopefully, you had some leftover candy bars to munch on and to make up for the loss. The ice cream sandwich idea is superb!
I hate when I spend all that time baking only to find that I’ve done something wrong and wasted all that time, effort and money! You’re a good sport!
I’ve made that mistake before. 🙂 I’ve messed up messing sugar also before.
