Baking Fail x 4!

So, this is probably karma because the other day Billy told me he would never make cookies and I told him they were easy. So now I have ruined 3 batches of cookies and a batch of cupcakes. Don't worry, I am undeterred and I have back-up eggs & butter. Might need to run to the store for some sugar though.

Accidentally doubled the almond flour in my mocha macaroons without doubling anything else (and forgot about them in the oven while I was helping Kristy with her dress). They came out something like a chocolate biscuit. Would be delicious with coffee or crumbled into ice cream, but were very, very dry for a stand-alone cookie.

Then I made some sunbutter to use in place of almond butter in some chocolate chip cookies. Well, the grapeseed oil (which is green) somehow didn't mix well enough or something, so there were odd green flecks in the cookies. Not so appetizing. Aaron thought they tasted weird and Mike thought they tasted like some sort of power bar. Not the kind of glowing review I was hoping for.

Next I tried making some coconut flour linzer cookies. I apparently gave poor directions to Aaron so he creamed the oil & butter together then added the eggs - no sugar - so we added some sugar late in the recipe, and then possibly way too much coconut flour, because no matter what we did, the dough was too dry and crumbly to roll out. We tried adding more eggs and some water, but it stayed a dry mess. It did taste good though! We put it in the fridge to maybe salvage later. I really wanted to make those cookies but I am not sure this failure was all our fault.

Not learning from the last three failures, I started in on some cupcakes - which I have made twice before. Ought to be a slam dunk. Forgot to add the honey. I think I just made some lemon vanilla breakfast muffins...

I will try again tomorrow.
