I just had my first (I think) cooking flop turned genius! I'm shocked! I was trying to make little personal-sized fruit pizzas for the kids' Valentine's day parties at school. I put the cookie dough into cupcake pans instead of on a cookie sheet because I was wanting perfectly little round and flat cookies.
So, when the oven timer went off the first time, I opened the oven and this is the disaster I saw! Big bloated cupcake cookies. Bummer! Well, they obviously needed more time to cook since they were still raw after ten minutes, so I closed the oven door and reset the timer.
When it "dinged" the next time, this is what I had instead. . .little sugar cookie bowls! I couldn't have made sugar cookie bowls if my life depended on it! What in the world!?!?!?
So, I switched my thinking a little bit and filled each bowl with cheesecake filling and then let Gabby add the fruit decorations on top! I'm so excited about my sugar cookie cheesecake fruit bowls! I'm sure that many people could have done this on purpose, but there is no way in the world that I could have! I think it is way better than fruit pizza!!!
And the biggest bonus about the whole thing is Gabby's artwork! All I did was ask her to put the fruit on top. . .no other instructions. And look what she did on EVERY single one. . .a strawberry in the middle with blueberries in a circle around! I love it! She did WAY better than I would have ever taken time to do! Thanks, Gab!
