The Baking Disaster from Tuesday

wiseheartOkay, on Tuesday I decided that it was time to bake something again. I found a very interesting - not to mention fairly expensive - recipe, which required 150 grams of ground hazelnuts (darn hard to get over here) and the same amount of ground dark chocolate, among other things. I followed the recipe religiously, rolled the little balls, shoved the baking tin into the oven and waited joyfully for the results.
Ten minutes later, the baking tin was filled with a homogenous mass that blubbered like lava before the eruption of a volcano. I yanked the tin out of the oven before the dangerously alive mass could in fact explode. It deflated at once. The result, instead of beautifully rounded Chocolate-Hazelnut Cookies are flat biscuits that I cut from the cooled mass with a knife. They taste delicious, but it looks like shit. *is sad*
The other cookies, Husarenkrapferln, Maronenstangerln and Granny's special Todánfánk, which is made with walnuts, turned out great, though. So, seventeen sorts of cookies made, one ruined... actually, not that bad a result.
