Receta The Cookie Nobody Liked
The Cookie Nobody Liked
What do you do when you embark on a challenging cookie recipe and the result is a total flop? Do you toss them all? Do you make every attempt to pass them off as good? Do you put them on a cookie tray at a party you are hosting in your home and hope your friends will like them? Maybe even wrap them in nice little packages and give them to those same friends? The problem with that is if those friends read your blog and realize you are trying to give them a bad cookie. Some friend YOU ARE! There is sure to be whispers in the corners of your home among guests.
This was a Cocoa Noile Cookie described as “a wonderful addition to wedding cookie trays or to serve at festive parties”. I must have messed this one up because it is so unbelievably sweet that all I can think of doing with this cookie is crumbling a very tiny smidge over ice cream. I can’t imagine eating a whole cookie. Maybe if it were made the size of an M&M….. no… not even then.
If you have ever heard of this cookie or have baked them before, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts.
For those who are interested and think “she must have messed it up”…here is the recipe.
- 6 egg whites
- 1 lb confectioners sugar
- 5/16 oz pkg of Vanilla sugar *This may be the area of screw up… I used 5 TBS of vanilla sugar
- 2 oz cocoa
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 325 F. Whip egg whites in electric mixer for 5 minutes. Gradually add confectioners sugar and vanilla sugar. Continue to whip 15 minutes.
Gently fold the cocoa, cinnamon, and walnuts into the sugar mixture. Drop by tsp onto a greased cookie sheet (about 1 1/2 inches apart) and bake 12 minutes. * Make sure they are done because the result for undercooked cookies is even MORE of a disaster…
Store in covered tins. They will keep for weeks.
“The Cookie That Nobody Liked”. It sounds like a sad Christmas story that could be made animated for TV. Any writers, producers out there?
Maybe I can give these to my sister? No, she reads this blog…Sue? do you think Sam might like them?
