Deez Nuts (Cookies)

deepest apologies to the recipe that i did not follow

happy november. on a tuesday. woo.

at 9 pm, i decided that yes, i do want cookies; it is nine pm on a tuesday night i want cookies.

so here we are!

i followed a recipe from my dearest beloved trusty robin hood cookbook, but follow is a strong word, used or bastardized may be a better fit.

BUT

if you use approximately 1 c fat, 2 c flour, 1/2 c sugar and an egg and around a tsp of baking soda, it should turn out fine.

i, being someone who does not enjoy following recipes decided to do some experimenting!

SO THIS IS WHERE THINGS BECOME “oh god i hope this works“:

for the fat i used equal parts butter and cream cheese (i had it lying around in the fridge so why the hell not), and a large dollop of nutella

my mom says my photos for these are shit- she’s right, but that’s not going to change

the cookies are in the oven and frankly i am terrified.

but also experimenting is fun!

toppings include the peanut candies from trick or treating because i will not eat them otherwise.

OKAY THEY TURNED OUT THICKER THAN I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE

BEHOLD MY LOVELY TURD COOKIES

is it because i listened to my demons and added baking powder as well? is it because the cream cheese has a lower fat content? the world may never know

because of that they were a little dry, but the flavour was alright so i am also alright

bite bite chomp chomp look at how dry and miserable it looks, i had to drink a cup of water to stop it from sucking out my life force like a sponge
