The Attack of the Cookie Dough

What do you get when you don't read a cookie recipe all the way through before you start mixing the ingredients?

This:




Crap. How am I going to get all of this into the mixer?



Well, obviously I'm not but I can try until it looks like this and then I'll have to - ugh - mix it by hand.



That sure is a lot of cookie dough. It was like a scene from The Blob with cookie dough spilling out all over the place. But I was willing to take one for the team and ate the cookie dough that spilled over. ;)



But it sure was a mess. I couldn't clean as I go because I was in a battle with that dough. I really needed an industrial sized bowl but had to do with what I had in the kitchen which wasn't much.



But you know the really bad thing is? I had made this mistake before and had noted on the bottom of the recipe that I should half it before making them again.

Can you say blonde moment? :)
