How’s it taste, though?! If it tastes good, just rebrand it as a cookie sheet cake and then it was a success! 👍

Why not? Your cookie cake looks great and you’d probably be good at baking cookies too!

I think they look delicious. Don’t give up.

Gave me a chuckle upon first glance lol. We’ve all been there! Try not to make such big scoops or crowd them on the pan, I almost always have to use 2-3 pans when baking so they don’t run together. Some recipes are just runny with the dough too, which could cause this

Okay so. The thing is, it looks like it still tastes good even as an accident. So that’s a good sign. Maybe they were too close together, or you made the drops (assuming there are drop cookies) too big? It’s probably and most likely a very fixable thing. Keep trying, you’re doing great just by way of actually seeing it through! 👍🏽

We’ve *all* had baking goofs. You don’t give up, you try again!

I’ve done that too. Grab a chuck, add some ice cream and enjoy.

Don’t say that!!! If this was your first time don’t give up! It can take time.

It’s almost a fruit roll-up. I bet it’s still delicious.

Everyone’s had a fused batch at least once, what you wanna do is have a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a silicone non stick sheet, fridge your dough for at leat an hour ish and do them in batches with each cookie a few inches apart. When it gets to the 5 minute or ten minute mark [cookie mileage may vary], rotate your sheet and bake for the remaining time. When you take them out,let them sit for few minutes to firm up. Don’t be discouraged,baking takes a few times to try out before perfecting.

I’d eat that. Send me some please.

Not enough flour, I think. Once cooled, they are probably crunchy. I’d still eat them. The whole point of making cookies yourself is to learn and experiment to make something you like that is not found in the store.
Keep at it.

Those look pretty good ngl, I love thin and crispy cookies

Don’t give up girl, we’ve all had mess ups but you won’t get better if you don’t try again. Plus who cares what it looks like as long as it tastes good. And they do look good, I’d definitely eat those.

Chill or freeze the dough before baking to avoid that much spread it will bake just fine from a frozen ball.

If at first you don’t succeed at baking…
Eat the evidence and try again.

I’d eat em’ 🤷
Globewanderer1001
Stop!!! I’ve been baking since I was a kid and I still make mistakes. It’s no big deal. Try again.
Some things to keep in mind:
1. Use room temp butter not melted.
2. Chill your dough! I know, I know, it takes forever, do it anyway! 🤣
3. The cookies still bake on the horizon pan out of the oven. Transfer to cooling rack a few minutes after the oven.
Keep on baking!

Will still eat it. Doesn’t look that bad anyway!

You’re butter was too warm before the baking process. I’ve had this happened before many times and was discouraged every time. One day at work I was telling an older coworker how I can bake perfect pies and cakes but my cookies always spread. She immediately said my butter was too hot. I started chilling my cookie dough beforehand and haven’t had the issue since 🙂
MnSnowtagirl
How did you melt your butter? That happened to me when my butter was too melty
It’s got to be room temperature, not melted

I had a cookie cake for my birthday one year and it was wonderful! Hehe

Looks delicious and chewy to me. That is how I like it.

When I was 13 I tried to make myself a giant cookie, but mixed up the unlabeled-flour with the unlabeled-powder sugar containers. And I never tried again lmaooo (I’m 32).
It looked just like your picture but without gaps.
FairEmphasis
What was your recipe? This looks like not enough flour (or way way way too much butter). The edges between the cookies also tell me that your dough isn’t uniformly mixed all the way through – some people are suggesting room temp butter over melted, but I’m guessing it might actually be too cold?
curlycattails
Does your oven get hot enough? One time this happened to me when I accidentally turned off the oven instead of turning off the timer.

Heyyyyy if you have some ice cream you can make some ice cream sandwiches 😀

I’ve been baking and cooking for half a century.
Lesson #1: the culinary arts are science. Sometimes experiments work, and sometimes they don’t, but we always learn from them! Think of it as an experiment and you’ll start to enjoy yourself.
Lesson 2: always try to find out what went wrong to avoid the same mistake and what went right to gain knowledge. Always measure and time accurately until you’re skilled enough to know what a dash of this and pinch of that will do.
Lesson #3: never take a failure personally. Have a laugh and move on. Even the mistakes (usually!) taste good!
Cooking and especially baking are skills. The more you practice, the more skill you acquire. It’s why many grandma’s make the best (insert recipe here), because they’ve made it so many times they not only know the recipe by heart but can judge the ingredients without measuring. One day, if you practice it enough, you’ll perfect those cookies!

You’ll be missing out then.

I bet they’ll still taste great. This happened when we overcreamed the butter and sugar making snickerdoodles at Christmas, the butter leached out during baking, still delicious. Crumble over ice cream with maybe a little caramel or fudge and call it a day!
akaasa001
Lol 😂 it’s fine. Figure out what you did wrong and redeem yourself. I would throw it out and just try again.
Edit: before ppl ask why I’d throw it out is because If I’m going to consume calories I’m going to do it right heh..

Seriously initially it’s not so much how they look like it’s how good they taste, if there tasty then it’s all good.
