Ok so I made cookies and it said for softened butter. Well, I went to soften it and it came out more like melted -.- Oops. So the dough wasnt as firm, but it wasnt soupy or anything. Anyways, is this going to make a big difference in the outcome of the cookies?

Meangya I made an eggnog cheesecake. Hell, more like 3. Had I known it was gonna make so many, I wouldve cut the ingredients in half. Not to mention Some of it wasnt mixed to nicely and its kinda chunky. Ugh. I was not made to be a lil Suzy Homemaker. </rant>

I made 2 apple pies, a pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and a fruit salad today. And that's just half of the deserts. My grandmother is getting too old to bake, so I have to help her out :(

God I felt like Martha Stewart.

Meangya they look like friggan pancakes.

Yeah, "more like melted" doesn't work when it's suppose to be softened. Try again, and let the refrigerated butter sit out for a while and soften naturally--unless you think you can soften it the quick way again without melting any part.

Thanks Well I made them regardless, adding some extra flour. Didnt seem to do too much. They taste fine and all, they just pan out a lot more and go flat. And I found a piece of butter wrapper in the first batch. Oops. -.-

i wish all the best for your cookies

i will pray for them

But since they taste fine, that's what matters.

I am so sorry to hear about your mishaps. Unfortunately, I've been there, too. I feel your pain and frustration. Thankfully, all I baked for Thanksgiving was just a homemade pumpkin pie which came out pretty good!!

Ok, you know those eggnog cheesecakes I made too? Well, one of the ingredients was 8 oz. instant vanilla pudding. Like I knew you were only supposed to add the powder. Oh no. Instead I made the pudding with the milk and added that too the other ingredients. No wonder why it filled 3 pies!! And now its not set right. It looks like chunky custard or something. Between those and the cookies (which do taste pretty good I must say), I have had it with baking! I didnt realize the pudding incident until I thought about it today at work. So, out of frustration I made the one thing I have never f'd up.. black forest cookies.:D
