Making Paradise Cafe Cookies

So I am a big fan of pinterest.  I have seen there is a imitation recipe of paradise cafe chocolate chip cookies.  So I decided I wanted to make these with my little sister.  Before we made the cookies I got all the ingredients that the recipe called for.  Finally it was time to attempt to make these cookies.  I was nervous, because honestly I am not the best baker out there.  I figured what would it hurt to give it a shot.  So my little sister and I went through the motions of making the cookies and than loaded them into the oven.  When I went to check on the cookies that is when I knew something had gone wrong.  The cookies looked horrible and not to mention they were all running into each other.  I quickly took them out before they set off the fire alarm.  I decided to try to bake a few more cookies to see if just maybe it would work this time.  Second time was not the charm.  They turned out disgusting.  I do not know went wrong.  I followed every direction to the tee.  What I learned from this, is that pinterest does not have all the answers.  It's best to consult with a mom before attempting a new cookie recipe!
