I Can’t Believe My Eyes….

Or my taste buds for that matter.

Did this marvelous cookie really come from my kitchen?

Lets do a little side by side comparison: (no laughing now)



Are you Freaking Kidding me?

Was it really that easy?

I BOW TO YOU ALL!

You are all amazing Cookie Cooks.

And you we’re all so sweet to come to my rescue!

You wise, wonderful, super-amazing, fantastic, ……

Horrible….Horrible people.


How in the world am I ever going to loose the baby weight now?

I mean, look at the bottom of these things.


Have you ever seen a cookie so goldenly delicious?

How did this happen? Why was the difference so extreme?

Okay so Here is what I Changed:


First of all I changed my recipe. I went over to My Sweet Chaos for inspiration (Thanks Ariana!)

Then I went through all your wonderful comments:

I moved my oven rack to the very top. (Thanks Allana)

I set it to 325 instead of 350. (Thanks Krista)

I did my very best to fold in the ingredients (Thanks Paula)

I put a few extra chips on top before I baked them (Thanks Ariana)


Here’s some photos of how it all went down:







These cookies tasted fantastic! A complete 180 from the ones I made last week, and I am soooo excited to offer them to my Husband, I swear he’ll think I bought them or something.

This is the start of something Amazing people!

I can feel a cookie addiction coming on quite shortly…..

I do have one more question though,

if I can beg you all for a little more cookie wisdom.

Why is it that my batter is so much more “Gooey” looking then Ariana’s?

Go look how fluffy her dough is, and then look at mine again.

What’s up with that?

    They look gorgeous! I’m so happy they turned out for you! I wish I could give you a tip about fluffy vs. gooey dough but I have no idea. I also wish I could take credit for the yumminess but it’s not my recipe, either. Somebody else out there in the www is responsible for this heavenly taste! I vow to find the original site one of these days and do a huge blog post on it! lol

    Those look great. My 21 month-old just pointed and said “eat muppins (muffins).”

  • BrendaB says:

    Wow. Whenever I make drop cookies, they come out like your first batch. So, I always make the ones that you roll into a little ball. They come out perfect. But, by looking at your excellent batch of drop-style cookies, I will try to make them! They look great :O)
