Trader Joe's Tuesday: Cinnadoodle Cookies
Amy Faries • Mar 03, 2020
Multitasking...not my forte
So once again I have discovered I am awful at multitasking (I should really stick to one thing at a time). I had a plan this time, I really did! I took out a stick of butter for my cinnadoodle cookies to come to room temp as well as 4 sticks of butter for smbc for a cake. I placed the stick in front of all my ingredients for the cookies and placed the other 4 sticks on the opposite side of the counter. Now, in my head there was no way I could do the ole switcheroo and use 4 sticks of butter for such a small batch of cookies. Guess what? My head was right! I didn't use 4 sticks of butter in my cookie dough but rather the entire stick placed in front of my cookie mix. The problem here is that I only needed 4 tablespoons of butter for the cookies....not a whole stick. I only noticed my mistake when I peeked at the cookies through the oven door and thought to myself "man these cookies are looking so fla- oh my gosh! I did it again! I put in 4 extra tablespoons of butter!". The poor cinnadoodles never stood a chance with my awful and scrambled brain.
The final review
I wish I could say that these cookies were delicious even though I messed up, but unfortunately that's not the case this time. Even with the added butter they were dry and too crisp for my taste. The flavor was barley there, besides the added cinnamon sugar coating. These were not a cookie I would go back for seconds for. Maybe next time I'll have better luck with the 3rd and finally cookie mix in the fun tier of cookie tins. I still have faith in Trader Joe's that they will pull through with a delicious cookie mix and that I will not mess it up!
