Doing my holiday baking, it's not unusual for me to have a cookie mishap. Yesterday's disaster: crumbly shortbread.
My magical thinking — that baking would improve the messed-up dough — didn't work. I should have given up when the butter refused to combine with the flour.
So I threw the cookies away. I also took out the garbage right away.
By the way, I've been spending a lot of time with Papa lately. She gets lots of car rides while I'm doing last-minute holiday stuff. So I thought it would be safe to leave her unattended for an hour.
Unfortunately, she got into the new garbage.
She extracted the bag out without pulling out the garbage can. I came home to shredded plastic and a guilty look. Thankfully, the holiday season will be over soon.

You definitely need one of the 1950's Electric Company Cookie Cookbooks. The recipes always work. (Well, I guess if you try to drink and bake they wouldn't.) I will keep my eye out for one at St. Vinnies.
I might have to try something new (or old, as the case may be). Those cookbooks have quite a following!
