So yesterday I spent nearly 1/2 the day making delicious cookies on a stick which we call "Panther Pops" for the ISB PTA .
I started out all excited and feeling really great that I was doing my part for the school and the PTA but after the first 20 I wasn't so excited anymore.....but I toiled on.
You see the instructions were;
- make 40
- make them all the same size and
- Do not overcook.
After baking the whole batch I had;
- only made 33
- they were not all the same size
- and I definitely overcooked the cookies - not all of them but a couple here and there.... well okay about 12 of them to be exact.
Oh how I hate the feeling of being incompetent. - Terrible!
This was the first time for me to bake these Panther Pops so I shouldn't be too harsh on myself but I didn't want to use that as en excuse. Anyway I completed my task - cooled the cookies then packed them ready to be delivered. But not after spending the whole afternoon trying to figure out what to say when I went to deliver the Panther Pops.
Anyway after all the worrying, when I went to deliver the cookies the lady was great. She told me not to worry that I didn't make 40, never mind about the over baked ones because there were more of them that were just right and for the ones I thought that were too large she said they were perfect.
Oh the unnecessary stress!!
