Cookies baked for cookie exchange fell flat

[Anonymous]

I baked cookies today for a cookie exchange party tomorrow. They flattened out completely instead of rising. I realized after the fact that my baking powder was old. Should I still bring them? I don't have time to remake them as the dough needs to be chilled for a few hours. I have some TJ's boxed mixed lying around.

What would you do?

Do they taste good? If yes, just bring 'em.

I'd take them as long as they tasted fine.

I much prefer flat chewy cookies with a big of crisp to thick fluffy cookies with a doughy texture so I would likely pick your cookies to eat

If they taste good bring them.

I think they taste ok. They're the cocoa crinkle/snowflake cookies that have powdered sugar on them. The powdered sugar basically melted since they became flattened, so they don't look pretty either. But they definitely have that chewy texture with a bit of crispness to them.

Just dust them with some more powdered sugar.

Depending on what kind of cookie they are: heat a microwave safe plate in the microwave to warm it up, place some hershey's kisses on the plate the melt the bottoms a bit and them stick a kiss on top of each cookie.

I don't mean it in a bad way. There will be too many other cookies there to even notice yours. If anyone comments, just say, yeah, it didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted.

If the exchange is tomorrow, I would probably just bake another batch actually. But I agree that if someone else brought flat cookies to the exchange I likely would not notice or if I did notice I wouldn't care.

My chocolate chip cookies came out flat too, and I think because of old baking soda. But they taste delicious, so to the party they go.

crinkle cookies always fall in.
