Ok, so this will beย almost wordless Wednesday. When getting ready for the Raingutter Regatta, I had to bring a treat to sell at the concession stand. I wanted to make something fun that people don’t always see. So I found these really cute swirled Halloween cookies. This is how they SHOULD have looked:
My reality was a little different. I had no parchment paper in the house so I used parchment triangles that I laid out on the cookie sheet. They stuck!! On top of that I was in a huge hurry and couldn’t refrigerate the dough as much as I probably should have. Here’s my cookies:
They still tasted good and I was able to save enough to sell some at the concession stand. I want to remake this recipe someday soon and make it turn out the right way!
Stephanie says
Bummer that they didn’t work out. They looked pretty though, the colors are super vibrant.
Dianna @ Oy Vey a Day says
How fun! They may not look exactly like the picture, but they still look great.
I find that, when baking, you often still need to spray parchment with cooking spray to make sure things don’t stick.
I need to try to make some cookies like this – I bet my kids would love them.
Sara Phillips says
I hate that these didn’t turn out for you! Hopefully next time they will! I want to try them with fall colors (red, green, brown and yellow).
Rachel says
They’re still pretty and I’m glad you salvaged some! They’re so vibrantly colored!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I honestly don’t think they’re bad at all. I think they’re really quite festive!
Kat B. says
I think they look good! Way better than I could make. And they tasted good so that is what matters.
Allison Cooper says
As long as they still tasted good, thats all that matters to me!
robyn says
You were way braver than I to even try making those! I bet they tasted delish and that’s all that matters in the end ๐
Donna says
I don’t think they look bad at all… if I made them, I’m certain they would have looked a lot worse. ๐
Marina says
Uh-oh. They actually don’t look all that bad, honest! And they tasted good right?
Karen Coutu says
I bet the children at the event still loved them! ๐
Shasta says
I actually think they look pretty awesome!
Jennifer @ My Sweet Sanity says
They aren’t bad and they were still very festive for Halloween.
Crystal Green says
These really awesome to me. I am glad that they taste good too. I think they are a perfect combination of fall colors.
Heather @ Work from Home with Kids says
I really like these! They look like a lot of fun! Plus doing colors to go with the holiday would be fuN!
Jenny says
well if you can still eat them than that’s something xD At least you can say you tried~
stephanie says
i think its a cool idea
Karen says
I think your cookies turned out pretty good. They don;t look that bad to me. Did they taste good? That is what would matter to me.
Megan @mnmspecial says
Those are still awesome cookies, even if they all didn’t turn out right.
Maryann says
that made me chuckle.
Tammy says
I don’t know, they don’t look so bad! I don’t think I’m such a good cook that they would have turned out for me either LOL.
Dawn Spickard says
These still look good!! WAY better than what my attempt would have turned out like, I am sure! ๐
Carolyn G says
As long as they taste good! They are a little off but still I like them and I would totally eat them!
Anne - Mommy Has to Work says
Taste is the biggest part so as long as they tasted good, all’s good!
Marcie W. says
They aren’t too bad at all and it’s great they were still tasty!
Beeb says
Honestly, I would have been stoked if mine turned out that good lol! ๐
Robin Gagnon {Mom Foodie} says
I think they still look cool, but yeah, not quite food porn fodder… there are plenty of holidays coming up for you to try the technique on again.
Jennifer @TheRebelChick says
I don’t think they look too bad at all! Refrigerating the dough longer probably would have helped though ๐
Katie says
As long as they tasted good that’s all that matters!
Brandy says
Those don’t look that bad to me. What am I missing?
Paula says
They stuck to the pan and wouldn’t come off whole.
Jenn says
They didn’t turn out THAT bad. Kids will love ’em!
Mellisa says
I think you did awesome and I bet they tasted great.
Kimberly says
I think they look a lot better than mine would have. Good job. If you do try again, you’ll have to show us. Maybe you could use Christmas colors.
Kelsey Apley says
I think these are still really cute, and not really to much of a fail. Glad they tasted good, because they look totally good to me!
Penelope says
I actually think they look really good, and by the way, everyone fails, but you are just supposed to show the ones from the batch that didn’t ๐
Paula says
There were only about 16 salvageable!
courtney says
The colors are pretty spot on ๐
Vanessa: thequeenofswag says
Sorry they didn’t come out how you wanted, but at least you still tried.
Theresa says
I don’t think these look that bad! Sorry they didn’t turn out how you wanted though.
Shell Feis says
They actually still look super cool! I couldn’t have done that.

Sorry they did not turn out for you. They still look pretty!
