What can I use hard, crunchy, leftover cookie-mistakes for?
My husband made some chocolate chip cookies. He changed the recipe (mistake) and they turned out flat and crispy. They taste good, but do not look nice. What can we use these for? I hate to throw them all out - he made a double batch. Can I blend them up in the blender and make choc. chip pancakes or what. Thanks for any help.
Best Answer
There are plenty of uses for less than ideal cookies. Here are a few off the top of my head:
- Crumble on top of yogurt, ice cream or other deserts
- Crumble up and pack it down as a pie crust (although, chocolate chips might make this one messy)
- Break up, and use in a bread pudding (but you have to let it soak for a while, and do not sweeten the custard, as you need to compensate for the sugar in the cookies)

For this method, all you need is a cookie jar or a tight-lid container and a slice of bread. If you don't have any bread, a slice of apple or a damp towel wrapped in foil with holes will also do the trick.What can I do with failed cookies?
My cookies was underdone / under baked after a bake for about 7-8 minutes. To save these cookies, I let them completely cool, and then bake them again in 160 degrees C for about 5 minutes, and then leave it in the oven after I turn it off. The remaining trapped heat in the oven will continue to cook the cookies.10 Most Common Cookie Baking Mistakes

Answer 2
What you need is some red icing, some white icing and some blue icing. You can use this to make a little Union Jack on top of each cookie.
Then, when you eat them, close your eyes and think of England. It won't matter how they look.
