Mistakes happen, but I really hate it when they do

You know what's awesome? When you're someone who posts recipes on the internet. What's even more awesome, is when you're someone who posts recipes on the internet in the hopes that other people will read and like and try the recipes you post. And then you post a recipe that's wrong.

In most cases, not such a big deal. When it comes to baking though....pretty big deal.

I posted a recipe recently for Fudge Drop Cookies, and apparently, I can't read my own handwriting, because I posted that the recipe called for egg yolks only, when in fact it called for whole eggs.

I realized this last night when I tried to make the cookies, using the recipe on my blog, and it turned into a disaster. I knew they didn't look right as I was making them, but I figured it was just one of those things. When I pulled the dough out of the fridge after letting it sit for the called for hour, I then had to spend the next twenty minutes hacking the dough out of the bowl with a butter knife. At this point, I went and checked the original recipe, and realized my horrendous mistake.

So, I apologize to anyone out there who tried to make these cookies with the incorrect recipe. I've updated the original post, which can be found here. I also updated the printable recipe.

Please, please don't let this deter you from making those cookies though. When made correctly, they are life changers.

You mean you make mistakes? I remember making a cornbread recipe and it tasted bitter. Then, I realized I used baking soda instead of baking powder!
