BH & G State cookie contest – my #fail

Ocean State CookieApparently I haven’t learned my lesson when it comes to baking contests. When my bestie Sean asked me to bake a Rhode Island Cookie in the BH+G Facebook State Cookie contest, I couldn’t say NO. Why? Because I’m a glutton for punishment (and I consider Sean to be one of my dear friends).

Of course, I used my FAVORITE cookie sheet from the Better Homes & Gardens collection at Walmart. You’ve seen me bake with them before and I use them constantly. They’re the easiest cleaning pans that I’ve ever owned PLUS they bake evenly. The only issue that I had is that my blue icing looked like it vomited all over the kitchen at the mansion.BHG baking sheet

So, I guess this was a huge #FAIL for me, but still a lot of fun (sort of like trying to give myself a pedicure – better left for the professionals). While I usually do very well baking, sometimes things just don’t go as planned (or in this case as winged).

The cookie voting is going strong, and I’d take a pity vote if you’d like to help  me out. By the way – the cookie tasted MUCH better than it looks…really.

Thanks to BH&G for providing me with the cookie sheet for my baking disaster. All opinions are my own.

    States with recognizable shapes are SO much easier!

    I voted. Mine would have looked a million times worse.

    You should see the blue icing mess after. I think the fact that I had no prep time probably played into this as well. I hadn’t thought about making a cookie in the shape of a landmark (since the state has a ton of little islands – it would have been a nightmare), and maybe if I had really thought it through it would have been okay.

    You’re all making me feel so much better. I did pull off an AWESOME trifle for the 4th of July. Luckily it’s okay if they look messy.
