One of my fairlynew hobbies is baking. When I find a good recipe to try, I tend to bring extras into work so I don't eat everything myself. One of my co-workers has been dropping not-so-subtle hints that he loves white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, so I decided to make him some before I leave next week.
I found a recipe online that looked good and set to make it after work. Since I'm moving in 10 days (!) I haven't been replenishing my baking supplies, so I had to sub brown sugar for white and borrow eggs from a roommate. No big deal on either front, and everything was fine until I went to add vanilla. I emptied my bottle and was still a teaspoon short. I found a bottle in the communal baking cabinet and poured it straight into the batter. Except that it was clear and was actually peppermint! Luckily I realized it before I added too much and think I was able to scoop a lot out. I'm not sure if the cookies actually have a noticeable minty taste, or if it's just me because I know it's in there.
Anyway, I was hoping to post a tested recipe, but since I messed it up, I won't :( At least I learned my lesson about checking bottles.
