I was so excited to make one of my favourite recipes
Pinwheel Cookies
{happy dance}
I have made this particular recipe many times before
the results are always beautiful
this time I decided I would use some
pretty candy sprinkles to adorn them
so I carefully rolled them in the sprinkles
{happy dance}
wrapped them up and put them in the fridge to firm up
for easy slicing
{happy dance}
when the time came to bake them
I started slicing them up
{happy dance...just look how pretty they are}
I told my entire family.........
"These are going to be nothing short of specatular"
I popped them in the oven
happy dance
happy dance
happy dance
{yes it was kinda sicken how happy I was}
well..............
Any guesses what happened?

those deceivingly pretty sprinkles
totally melted into one big yucky mess in the oven
causing my smoke detector to go off
and my tears to flow
{a little exaggerating on the tear part}
sorry no photos as I was too disappointed to think of taking any
one never to give up
I made them again with these sprinkles
And all ended well
lesson learned.....not all sprinkles are melt proof

Thanks for the heads up on that one. They were certainly very pretty before baking.
OHHHHH HOW SAD.....THEY WERE SO PRETTY.......I BET THEY STILL WERE DELICIOUS......YOUR NEW BATCH LOOKS PRETTY AND DELICIOUS......BET THEY WERE REAL YUMMY WITH A NICE CUP OF TEA......HAVE A GREAT WEEK....RIZZI
aahh bless you either way they both looked beautiful and i bet it tasted lovely ;-) dee xx
Well they certainly made a gorgeous photo pre-oven. I would have been tempted to just eat them in raw cookie dough style. Glad you had a plan B that baked well...
My mother used to make cookies like that, but hers were with chocolate, alas I do not have the recipe..Do you share yours? Makes my mouth water they look so soft.
Sorry about the melt, sweetie. I'd never have thought about that either. They look deelish!
Have a lovely week ~
TTFN ~

Good photos of the prized cookies..another lesson shared,

Happy Dance that the 2nd batch turned out ever so lovely! I've had those baking disaster moments too! Glad it ended well :) Hope you're having a lovely weekend xo
Oh...they looked so pretty, too. My heart would have melted along with the sprinkles. Glad the 2nd batch worked out!
XO,
Jane
happy dancing
for the Wonderful Pre*Baking Photos
of the troubling cookies!

in Real Life:
Not all sprinkles are ovenproof!
{{ thank you, koralee, for sharing
The Real Life
parts, too }}

So glad you were able to make them after all! They do look so pretty and yummy. How do you know which sprinkles won't melt? Trial and error? Or is there a certain consistency in brands or types? Hope you're having a wonderful, sweetness filled weekend.
Beautiful sprinkles, no more. They really were pretty.
I have recently experienced a "smokin oven" and the smoke alarm didn't go off. (yes, we checked and it works.). Not fun is it?
Your next cookie batch looks pretty and yummy too!!!
(Difficult to read the verification words . . . hope this works.)
Thank you so much for sweetening my heart today. Nothing like a pinwheel goodness of pink to brighten a day.
will you still speak to me if I admit I had a little chuckle at your sprinkle misfortune???
Only because I knew it all worked out in the end!
Happy new week

(did you still eat the splodgy mess?)

Happy dance and swirl around - yes to sweetness and to these adorable coockies girl!
Oh Koralee,
So sorry to hear your cookies did not turn out the way you wanted to the first time. I can almost feel your happiness and disappointment. The new ones look absolutely perfect me!!!
Happy new week!

Oh dear, I am so sorry -- and your sprinkles were going to be beautiful -- but I liked the final result -- they look delicious!! Do you have the recipe posted somewhere on your blog?
I can imagine the totall disappointment as they were GORGEOUS with those first sprinkles.
smoke alarm worthy eh....dang
BUT, the other ones are lovely too. Such a pretty cookie.
What a let down. I was just admiring how cute they were and thinking I just had to make them. Glad you had a plan B. They are so pretty.
What a shame the sprinkles melted. They had looked so lovely before the oven got at them!
I love your ideas!!
These cookies are so pretty! Love them!
-Hannah
IMHO, they look too pretty to eat!
Kristin
OOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
But dear heart, the PHOTO IS PRICELESS And is worthy of being in a MAGAZINE! Oh how disappointing...your TARANTELLA turned into the dying swan dance, but look, LOOK at what you produced! They must be FABULOUS! BIG HUGS TO YOU MY HEART...I have made some big boo boos in my baking career!! LOVE YOU! Anita
I was doing the happy dance with you! Defective sprinkles, that's what I say! The cookies turned out so pretty! Love them!
They still look beautiful "uncooked" beautiful "eye candy" ~ love it~
They look to pretty to eat :)
Hi Koralee!
Oh so happy that you found success!
I can only imagine the let down. They were spectacular indeed and looked great during their "photo shoot."
I hope you had a great weekend! I have this week free from school...but will be helping my father until Wednesday.
I'll be making his favorite cookies tomorrow morning. Date Bars ~ with fresh dates and walnuts. I think their one of my faves too!
I wish you a sweet week with lots of sprinkles all around ♥
~xoxo~
Maria
Oh I love the big sprinkles, they look like mermaid pearls, but the smaller, the sweeter, the better ~ So, Happy Dance for the tiny sprinkles that look absolutely perfect! Lovely photos, I hope you enjoy your sweet treats! xoxo
Oh no!! Well, the dough looks really really pretty anyway. Glad you could still save the day with different sprinkles.
Oh no! I have had baking experiences like that too.....but yours has ended so prettily and happily after all, Koralee!

Dear Koralee.. thank you for inspiring us with the beautiful photos.. but more importantly, thanks for being honest and telling us about the smoke boo boo.. I got such a kick out of it.. you tell a good story.
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
awwwww...
Well thanks bunches for letting us all know that all sprinkles are not created equal. Who knew!?
Your cookies turned out adorable!
Love your photos..as always!
And thanks bunches for popping by my tiny corner of blogland. :)
C'mon Spring!!! We need you! :)

That is a shame about the first set of sprinkles, they looked so pretty on the dough. Glad to hear the second set was a success though :)
Have a lovely day and enjoy the cookies!
Magie
Oh, but they were so pretty! I sort of like hearing that not all things turn out perfectly for you too! It makes me feel better.
Learning by doing...!
Happy it all went okay for you the second time... :-)
Well... when I looked at your photos I thought it was marzipan. (Don't need the oven and the pretty sprinkles would survive! Idea?)
*SMILE* and greetings from Denmark
//Lisbet
Oh my goodness!!!!! These look amazing!! Wishing you a lovely day! Xoxoxo
Well the photos were worth it though, right? Just lovely and now I"m feeling like a little snack :)
