Baking Failure

So, I got up early this morning to bake some cookies for church tomorrow. I wanted to get it done before it got too hot in the house. I was going to try this new recipe for Peanut Butter Banana cookies. It sounded simple, few ingredients, and I love the combination of peanut butter & banana.

I should have known it wasn't going to turn out so great when the ingredients were: peanut butter, banana, egg, sugar, brown, sugar, baking powder, and chocolate chips. How does those ingredients make a cookie!?!? I had the brilliant idea of adding some oats in, hoping the cookies would have more uumph.

I got busy whipping up the batter, which only took about 3 minutes. The batter was thin and the recipe recommended leaving room for the cookies to spread. I was a good girl and followed the directions, only putting 6 cookies on each baking sheet. Feeling somewhat skeptical, I popped them in the oven.

10 minutes later....


Uh, I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to look like that.

After scraping and prying the "cookies" off the baking sheet, I'm left with this mess...

That went really well. The sad part is that they don't even taste good!
