Have you ever tried baking a cookie and then re-baking it into another cookie? Well, that’s exactly what I did for day 5 of my 12 days of cookies! The results were amazing! Sure, it may take a little more time, but you’re still only making one dough.
My DH actually preferred eating the first batch of baked dough since I made them crispier. I didn’t even try to make the first batch pretty since they were going back into the dough. I literally look a chunk of dough, broke it apart onto a lined baking sheet, and then baked them as is in small pieces. 
The cookies come out a bit darker than normal with a dreamy swirl.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, and aren’t these platters a beaut? You might remember them from an old post, only a little different. It’s from Mad Hatter’s Platters! I changed the top to a different plate for Christmas. I love how easy they are to customize and adapt for the different seasons. You can change sizes, colors and shapes as long as you have the rod that holds them together.
A couple of my favorites from their site include: the blue & white southwestern two tiered, cream & teal three tiered, gold polka dot two tiered, and the teal w/ruffled bow two tiered. If you’re still doing some last minute shopping for the holidays, I’d highly recommend Mad Hatter’s Platters for the entertainer/baker!
