Scrounging and Expiramenting in the kitchen

Okay so I know it has been a while, I'll catch up on that later...

RIGHT NOW! I MUST TELL YOU WHAT I AM DOING!

I am desperate for cookies. 

My big issue, and I mean BIG, is that I have no sugar! I have, or should say had, about a quarter cup of RAW sugar and the only other sweeteners I had was strawberry nestles quick, some french vanilla coffee mate, and that's it... So I was thinking, and thinking and I remembered hey I have some pie crust mix in the cabinet I bet I can make cookies out of that. surely enough I find a video to rachel-rays kitchen showing how to make pie crust cookies, my problem still I have no sugar... what to do... well to sweeten my pie crust, I added some leftover pancake mix, a dab of cream of tartar for flavor, and some food coloring. Food coloring makes everything better I promise.

But still the dilemma of what will I do for frosting. Well I have so many other ingredients in my kitchen surely I can come up with a solution to my problem. So this is what I have so far, and it doesn't look good yet. but I am about to add some cream cheese and I hope it fixes itself...

 

 Okay so I grabbed that raw sugar, and I added some french vanilla coffee creamer, and some water, and microwaved it for 30 secs... interesting results the sugar was hot not quite dissolved as I had hoped, so I added one stick of butter.... then i microwaved that solution for 30 secs to soften the butter, (now butter by itself becomes softer when u microwave it for 30 secs.) however when u already have hot sugar... so after I got it out of the microwave I mixed it till the butter fully melted, I realized this wasn't good, so Immediately I added some corn starch, that didn't help, I added some rice flour, i figure well if rice flour can make mochi why not right,, nope bad idea, so i added some vanilla, more corn starch, and then some more rice flour, some food coloring... and then still looks gross... I added some egg re-placer by bobs red mill... it has made my mixture thicker but still not the results i am looking for right now the "frosting" still looks very grainy. So now, I am ganna add some cream cheese, if that doesn't work ill add some shorting...

 

 the cookie part is done.. they don't look half bad.

Just had a taste test, my son tasted them, he says they taste like biscuits.

frosting is still grainy but at least it no longer looks gross... Im ganna add some more corn starch hopefully it will help smoothin it out.. I also added some cream of tartar for taste. alright, i had my kid taste it, he says it tastes like milk.... -_- not the flavor I was going for but I'll take it. I almost forgot i have sprinkles. ill use some of those..

OMG -_- you will not believe what I just found in the damn bag with the sprinkles...  3 tubes of premade frosting...

well looks like ill be decorating my cookies for a while...

just tryed the pie crust cookie with the frosting i made, tastes like a biscuit with cream cheese... but the cream cheese has flour in it....

just tried the cookie with the tube frosting tastes way better.

now trying it with both frostings and sprinkles...  its good. :) 

 

finally cookies... now if only I had some milk to drink it down with.. oh well looks like I'll be drinking tea.

good night
