Bandwith and I made cookies this morning.
I couldn't find my bat cookie cutter, but the ghost was awfully cute.
You are prolly thinking, Gollum has conquered the cookie/icing problem, right? 
Tra la la.
Not a chance. Our cookies developed major hip-spread. For those who like to slow down and look at trainwrecks, here's a doozy.
The icing wouldn't thicken. Before I realized what was going on, the icing had spilled off the pan, onto my gas cooktop, then streaked across the floor.
The second batch was better.

For those participating in this week's Foodie Friday, Mr. Linky awaits your information. Be sure to add the title of your recipe.
My problem is that I eat all my ugly cookies myself to avoid unpleasant comments and embarassment.:) I love that you share the good, the bad, and the ugly :)--Thanks!

ReplyDeleteYour site is fabulous and your pictures are great. I love your little dog!
They look good even if they didn't quite work too well. I love sugar cookies, I really need to make some. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteMichael - your holiday decor is really wonderful! Enjoy a cookie for me :).
ReplyDeleteTake care,
ButterYum
Ah, a chefs treat, huh? If you mess something up, you have to eat it yourself. I'm sure that is the rule. They look yummy either way. I guess you could serve the "less than perfect" ones and say they are scary goblins!
ReplyDeleteChristi
Pass the milk please! I'm having several cookies. Yum
ReplyDeleteLove that pictures and the train wrecks! I love Foodie Friday!
ReplyDeleteHon, many of us suffer from hip spread! This kind is the best however!
ReplyDeleteBrenda

ReplyDeleteAnd tooo bad dawgs can't have sugar~~~ I KNOW Mister would just LOVVVVE these!!! (You can always send the "uglies" to MOI!!! I C*A*N eat sugar, just not SUPOSED to!!! DRAAAAT!!!)~
The pics made me soooo wish we HAD "leaves" to WATCH them CHANGE!!!!! (Nobody ever said desert life is PERFECT, I guess!~ Stilllll in the high 80's here!!!)~

I love these cookies! Definitely puts me in the fall mood!
ReplyDeleteThese look so yummy. Wish I could have some right now!!
ReplyDeleteBut your mosaic is very pretty! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe cookies, well...
Your blog is all dressed for Halloween..very cheerful!
I love the way cookies look with icing....but they are a little tricky to make :) Your blog looks great, I'm still getting ready for Halloween!! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAdore you mosaic, love your blog and I even love the cookies with the frosting on the pan, just pass the milk please...I love your blog and I really like your dog, come visit, I'ed be honored to have you visit mine, I have only blogged 4 times, but I love it....Phyllis
ReplyDeleteAh, that is too funny, Gollum! I have officially given up on decorating cookies. It's obviously not my forte. It's so cool that Bandy cooks/bakes with you. My son used to, then he went vegan 2 1/2 years ago. Guess what? He's now eating dairy, seafood and chicken! Life is alot easier and it's so neat to see him finally excited about food again.
ReplyDeleteWell, as I always tell my Mother, your failures are better then most peoples success! Thank you for hosting I forgot to put my recipe on my link. I have never doen that I am sorry I didn't realize. Next time I promise! We have a great easy sweet, cute pictures of the children baking, and home made pizzas! See you next week!
ReplyDeleteCute cookies! I am not industrious enough for this type of cookie making, but I love to see others!
ReplyDeleteMany blessings!

Michael...these pics are too funny! I've certainly had my icing disasters over the years. The best part is it doesn't effect the eating part! ;-) I LOVE your mosiac!!!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Oops. Accidently left my first link on last week's post.
ReplyDeleteCute cookies!
ReplyDeleteI've had trouble with powdered sugar icing either being too liquid and then too thick...always trial and error before it finally works.
Thanks so much for visiting my trainwrecks today! LOL I am up to my neck in revisions for the book and while I do enjoy it, I NEED PEOPLE. Chocolate is good but friends are better. Just reading yall's notes was like visiting dear friends--my favorite thing is to talk about food while eating something chocolatey.
ReplyDeleteHugs to all,
Mlee
I love all the fun stuff you have put on your blog. Your cookies are lookin real good right about now. Have a great weekend:)
ReplyDeleteThat is a spooky cookie - LOL!
ReplyDeleteI guarantee these would have been edible at my house. We would have been scraping the icing off the pan! They look delicious - sort of spooky - like a ghost should look. laurie

ReplyDeleteLove your mosaics! The cookies look delicious and cute even with the icing mishap. Sorry you had such a mess on your stove top. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhat fun seeing the icing dripping! I had a few cakes that have done that in the past! Oh, but the ones that turned out look so darling! I just love the ghost! How I wish I could make these for the Grandchildren on Halloween! Just makes you get into the Halloween spirit, Oh a Ghost spirit! lol
ReplyDeleteI love it all, including the train wreck!
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is wonderful!!
How have you made the eyes? Can you eat them to?
ReplyDeleteLove your ghost, MB
So glad to find and enjoy your site. I tried creating a link but could not access the information on the guidelines of Foodie Friday. I did put a link to you at the bottom of my post though.
ReplyDeleteThose cooktop mishaps...ugh. We have a glass cooktop which is beautiful but I spend more time cleaning that thing. Next house I will have a gas cooktop.
ReplyDeleteI was out of town last weekend at a cooking competition and had no internet access - I found myself thinking about this blog carnival. One of my faves.
The almond butter & jelly cookies are my healthier spin on my childhood favorite - PB&J.
Waste not; want not.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out great after you got started and that's all that counts; besides you had to try the first batch by taste testing. LOL
I am going to try my hand at cup cakes this week-end. My sister is awesome at three D cakes. My grandson 11 birthday this week-end and she is doing a 3 D electricl boat for his birthday cake. I'll show you next week. Have a great week-end. Hope your book is ready soon.
those cookies are so cute! love the fall colors.
ReplyDeleteoh those came out so cute, i love the black on the ghost, they look super!
ReplyDeleteIve never iced cookies like this. I've seen Martha Stewart do it and they're so pretty...but I don't have a steady hand. So I'm sure mine would probably come out all funky. :)
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look finger looking yummy...and brought smiles. wouldn't it be nice if everything we tried turned out great the very first time? Our little ones would enjoy them no matter how they looked:)
ReplyDeleteI hope 'Mister' is as happy now and feeling better as he looks in his picture above.
Hugs:)
That's a really funny cookie story, it made me smile...actually I'm still smiling, it was pretty funny! :O)The plus side is that, you're right, they DO still taste great no matter what they look like. The cookies came really cute, I love the eyes. :O)
ReplyDeleteI love your fall collages and the pictures you used to assemble them Very nice! The cookies look great. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI love the little eyes. Where did you find those? Very cute cookies!

ReplyDeletethe cookies are adorable!! and it does my heart good to see that I am not the only one to eat the ugly cookies!!! lol
ReplyDeleteMichael, I have missed coming to your beautiful blog, but hopefully I will get things straight on my blog and will be up and running at 100% soon.
ReplyDeleteNearly all my cookies look like your bad ones. I love to bake, but it is not really my thing.
Happy Saturday.
Barbara
sorry,but I'm glad to see real life real time this happens to all of us they look delish and cute as a little trick-o-treater.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your mosaic! The cookies may be ugly but I am SURE they tasted YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been away since Wed. so am just seeing this and have eaten myself silly the last few days......sadly:):) HAPPY FALL, Michael Lee! Hugs, Pinky

ReplyDeleteMB
I absolutely love your beautiful photos! I was wondering if you could share with us how you do the "photo to sketch" (or whatever that effect is called) that you have used on so many of your photos. I have been trying to figure it out with my photo editing software, but to no avail. Thank you for sharing your beautiful blog with us!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE cookies... I wish I had a few of those for café creme tomorrow... YUM!!!
