I wonder whether you could spread a little on top of the biscuits before they go into the oven?<br />But I would probably just eat it spread on toast.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-74827458016255109982015-02-03T23:17:42.602+10:302015-02-03T23:17:42.602+10:30Huh, I wish.

I...Mimsie; edible but I won't make it again. I'll stick with the sugar cookies.<br /><br />joeh; a snickerdoodle poodle, hmmm.<br /><br />Delores; sandwiching with the spread would be too much sweetness for me. a good idea though.<br /><br />Joanne; nope. I'm the only one to blame here.<br /><br />Marty Damon; I almost threw the mix out, but didn't want to waste the ingredients.<br /><br />lotta joy; I had that same spreading trouble with my honey snaps, AND I burnt the first dozen. <br /><br />Elephant's Child; you're a very smart woman.<br /><br />Andrew; rescuing isn't always possible, cookies and slices are quite forgiving, but a sponge cake gone wrong can't be fixed. all you can do with it is cut into squares and make lamingtons. <br />Main meals can often be saved by the addition of something, pastry can't. Cooking is really a hit and miss science.<br /><br />Friko; over the years I've thrown out lots of half done recipes, just never told anyone about them.<br /><br />Merle; I make biscuits very rarely, I'm not much of a biscuit person. I eat or give away what I make, then don't make any for ages.<br /><br />Lee; I very nearly did waste it. Now I have a couple of dozen cookies which may or may not get eaten. I can't even give them to the neighbours, most of them are on restricted diets for some reason; several are diabetic. <br /><br />Vicki; I won't bother with tweaking this one. I already tweaked the original until I'd made them with Craisins which turned out to be the perfect addition, since their slight tartness is lovely in the overall sweetness. <br />You could try the maple spread and tell them it's awful, then keep it for yourself?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-26631383894023304772015-02-03T09:04:55.720+10:302015-02-03T09:04:55.720+10:30I like where you were going with this idea.

With a little persistent tweaking, who knows...<br />But, I've had similar baking brainwaves which didn't turn out - and I didn't persist with them either :)<br /><br />I love the sound of the maple spread. I'm a maple syrup fan and I think it would be a favourite.<br />But, the boys devour everything I buy. Everything yummy, that is.<br />So I have to either resist... or hide.<br /><br />Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-72992743808150027392015-02-03T08:18:34.953+10:302015-02-03T08:18:34.953+10:30Well, at least you didn't waste it; and what t...Well, at least you didn't waste it; and what the hell it was worth a try...and as you say, it turned out okay and a having it with a hot drink will work. <br /><br />Good for you! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-65250729361787780912015-02-03T08:03:02.960+10:302015-02-03T08:03:02.960+10:30I always made my own biscuits then the oven broke ...I always made my own biscuits then the oven broke so I stopped baking, I eat much less biscuits and cake so thats got to be good, some were wonderful but some were not so but if you try you never know what you will come up with.<br />Merle...........
