{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}Well fellow bakers I just had to share my horrible cookie disaster after thinking I was being very clever.

I was making peanut butter blossoms that called for sweetened condensed milk and baking mix with other ingredients of course. Recipe given to me by a really good friend and I had tasted hers and they were delicious.

I started out by creaming the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter as recipe called for. I went to get my baking mix and lo and behold I had none{#emotions_dlg.scared}. I always have bisquick, but not today. I decided to get really creative and try and make something else. I tasted the creamed mixture and it tasted like my peanut butter fudge. Well I added in some powdered sugar to tighten it up and a little vanilla. Pressed it into an 8x8 dish and thought I was really the smart one until------------all of the sweetened condensed milk rose to the top!!!! I mean it was just floating there!!!! What a hideous mess I had.{#emotions_dlg.crying}

I always read about famous recipes that were created when someone had to improvise and the results were great. Well not so in my case.{#emotions_dlg.sad}

Lesson for me in this story is to stick to recipes always and check pantry before attempting to make anything. Thought you all might enjoy this. I didn't actually, but now that it's over it is kind of funny.

Happy cooking to all
