I’m not sure if there are such things as failures when it comes to baking. If it’s edible, I’m eating!
So I was supposed to make Filipino-style macaroons but because I did not put the batter in any mold, they spread when baking and became cookie-like instead. The taste is still as good but it was on the crispier side compared to the fudgy gooey macaroon. I was adamant at saving my baked goods so I added some chocolate drizzle in the end for that extra push. Turns out it didn’t even need the chocolate. It was good on its own, and I ate two for breakfast today.
