    It’s MONDAY and do you know what that means? It’s COOKIE TIME!!!  Don’t be fooled by how the picture looks, it definitely tastes like a cookie.  I had my bestie taste test it and she was pleasantly surprised because it looked like a pancake and tasted like a cookie.

    When I first started my YouTube channel, I didn’t practice my recipes before I filmed.  I just grabbed my camera, ingredients, and baked, edited my video, and then uploaded it to YouTube.  Well, I decided to try doing that again and take a look at how the pancake cookies turned out.

    Ugly right? HAHA, I was so disappointed just because I had filmed and sent the picture to my friend Hani for her to upload on her channel (we were doing a collaboration).  Anyways, I had to do it all over again and I was so mad at myself because I had just wasted two hours of my time!  As a student, I don’t have that kind of time, and any spare time I have, I usually spend studying.  Well, lesson learned. I’m going to always practice my recipe before I film and then make sure I take amazing pictures.

      This looks amazing!! I was wondering, could we could sub out the melted butter for another type of oil? Also, if I were to make these ahead of time, how long would they last and how should I store them? Can’t wait to try these out 😀

        You can make your own applesauce by cooking cut apples in a little water for 20 mins, then mash down. They’re delicious.

      Great recipe! How long will these last of stores in an air tight container?

        Hi! Great question! So if you’re going to put it in an air-tight container it will keep it’s “freshness” for about 3-5 days. If you put it in air-tight container and in the freezer it will last longer than 122 weeks. Just to let you know it’s better to make a batter and then freeze that instead of making it and then freezing! I hope this helped xx (: xx

      I made these and oh are they good. I ended up making a maple frosting and frosted each cookie with them.
