    1. A big component of cookies is butter or shortening. There was no way that was ever going to work.

    2. There is a lot of potential in doing a bit where it’s a very professional looking baker lady with a big smile and well lit kitchen. They building out the dough like that and even tossing in historical fun facts around the chocolate chip cookie. Then when she pulls out this, she doesn’t break her smile and acts like it’s exactly what she expected. Maybe even smells it.

      “Hmmm doesn’t that smell wonderful! Let’s dig in.”

      When I was a kid I had a boon called the “special effects cookbook” that had all sorts of recipes with cool visual effects. One was a teddy bear made of bread dough. Being bread dough and not super-fatty cookie dough, it actually held its shape and was pretty cool. I also learned how to make a zucchini shark with an alka seltzer tablet that could swim around a punch bowl.

      My favorite trick, though, was for a skeleton cake. I learned that if you soak sugar cubes in vanilla extract (or any other alcohol-based extract), they become extremely flammable and you can make flaming eye sockets for your spooky skeleton.

    4. Just wondering did you try freezing it first?

      It wouldn’t hold shape perfectly but it wouldn’t go flat

    5. If you baked it in a cake mold, it might work but you’re not really gonna want to.

      It’d be tricky trying to get rhe inside to cook without burning the outside
