there is always goign to be the dud

As i mentioned when i started this cooking section of my blog that i have a huge pile of recipes stored up. I'm sure you've got something like it "oh this looks so good, i'll try this next time i (fill in the blank, have company, eat/cook, have 3 months of free time to waste)". Enter in the recipes from the New York Magazine. I should have known this wouldn't work out b/c usually this section is filled with stuff that i look at and think geez that looks good and who has the time for this? so many steps and is much too complicated. WELL cookies seem so easy that i thought F'it, i'll give it a go!

Here is what they expected




Here is what i got. No need to examine these closely they are as flat as they seem. The height is due purely to the mounds of almonds compacted in a sugary bunch.



My parents are probably laughing because i was that kid, no wait teenager, no wait grown up who would miss an ingredient or add too much um salt or molasses, as two memorable occasions, into a recipe. I swear i didn't do anything wrong with this. i double checked!!!

For any of you who want to give'r a go here is the recipe. Oh and be sure to tell me how much better yours turned out (photos are always great!).
ps: i threw out the recipe along with most of the cookies!
