SIGH. It's a "good" thing that I can't taste? =has no taste.
AND that I can't smell? =doesn't smell good.

When I had to go to the store to get my mother oranges (she said she needed fruit and couldn't get any because of her broken arm...funny she was able to drive to church the next day... but I digress...)

I bought some egg whites, and more oatmeal...

So tonight I dusted off the stove and figured I'd make cookies.

Here I sit munching (and considering using a fork?) eating what ended up as oatmeal nuggets or something?

But I should have thought about this!

no brown sugar
fake real sugar
fake butter for shortening
only egg whites not yolks

I didn't have nor do I use brown sugar (allergic to molasses) and I used Splenda for sugar, and non fat butter, and only egg whites (allergic) and yes I did have vanilla .. and baking soda (you know, crack some out of the box that sits in the empty refrigerator)... and baked it 3x as long as they are supposed to take (recipe on oatmeal box)

Oh! that's what gave me the idea: the recipe on the oatmeal box.

Well, I guess being alone on Christmas has it's advantages

sigh.

LOL Sky. I baked a beautiful cake once and forgot to put baking powder and eggs in it. Just completely forgot. I ended up with marvellously tasty, 12 inch chocolate cookie dust. Flat, hard and totally crumbly. I baked it for it's whole hour, watching it NOT rise and thinking, "gee, what an odd cake"
tee hee
I bet the cookies taste fine, just a little overdone. Not so bad hun. Dunk them in milk, crush them up and use them as a cookie crust for a lemon chiffon pie or maybe a banana cream pie.
Don't worry about it. I'm sure we all have baking horror stories.


Merry Christmas Sky
hugs

OH! and NO flour (didn't have any in house.)

LOL Maybe it was your Inner Child doing the thinking, ya think? LOL NO flour?? So what did you get? Anything eatable?

Say... I've got some date bars that I made. Only problem is, they make my mouth break out for some reason. They never bothered me before! Maybe I should ship them to you? hehe

gee thanks sep! heheheh I don't normally eat any kind of cookies... must've been the holiday hype eh? Sure, they were very sweet semi crisp oatmeal... um nuggats? Had to have been very sweet or I wouldn't have known.. I don't have good taste... very sweet at the sides of my tongue (is that right???) and also very mexican pepper type hot at the upper back of my mouth... but I have to have serano peppers to notice. sigh. at least I have that... but both are fattening! (well, no, the peppers aren't , it's what I eat them with lol)

notthemama, that's ok... I really am not safe in the kitchen anyway.

angel lol I've done that .. but not out of forgetfulness! I used to make decorated cakes for fun for family and friends... gone are those days.

(((((((sky))))))))) I'm usually pretty good putting in all the ingredients a recipe asks for. My problem is the actual baking. You know how sometimes you put wax paper in the container so the dough wouldn't stick to the container, like cakes and stuff? Well I tried that with cookies. Guess what.... poof, fire.... burnt my cookies. Those that weren't burnt were pretty rock hard. I haven't baked any cookies since.

om gosh. yep! I made biscuits once, the dog wouldn't even try them, LOL I guess burning your cookies is better than tossing them????
