What an entertaining post idea!! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading these mishaps and saves. One of my boo-boos involved too much butter in the cookie recipe. I was making "Thin and Crispy Oatmeal Cookies". I had made the cookies a couple of times before, so I don't really know why I made the mistake. The recipe calls for 1 3/4 sticks of butter. I measured out 1 3/4 CUPS if butter. You'd think that I would have noticed that the batter was a little, shall we say, greasy. I baked one tray, and needless to say, the cookies were thin, but not crispy!! They were more like a soft, chewy toffee. Since I didn't have a clue as to what to do with them, I threw them out with the rest of the dough. After reading some of the brilliant save ideas, maybe I could have used them as a crust ingredient, or maybe as a topping. We'll never know on that one. I don't plan to make that particular mistake again! Thanks again for a fun and informative post!!
