Catastrophic Cookie Failure

I'm so bummed! We are having Easter lunch at Ed's parents house tomorrow, and I wanted to contribute something, and his sister was like "oh, we have everything under control, just bring something sweet if you want". HA! No problem I say! Sweets are totally my thing. Ed cooks, I bake, it's just how things are. lol... Anyway, so I made a batch of brownies because everyone likes brownies and we already had a box.... and then I decided to be creative and make some non-sugar sugar cookies. aka - sugar cookies made with Splenda. So yeah - this recipe gets an F- in my book. BLUCK. I'm blaming the recipe. It called for 4 cups of flour! What the heck!?!?!?!? So anyway, in the process of adding in the flour to the other stuff it got all stiff and it was EVERYWHERE. I know overbeating can make it stiff, but I was just trying to mix it in!!!! Ugh. I finally resorted to using my hands! I didnt even put it all in. I got too frustrated. So I put it in the fridge, and then wound up using my hands to mold together a somewhat cookie shape to put in the oven. This is the result.... they look just like they did going in! No wait, they look more like biscuits now. Oh, and I had to eat one... they taste closer to biscuits than cookies also. Bluck, Gross, Nasty, Catastrophic Failure! At least we still have the brownies... I mean, I made them from a box, I couldn't have messed those up too right? Maybe I should try them just in case!
