Bad Recipe

Today I saw a recipe and thought it looked delish, Chocolate balls with crackle tops sat pretty on the dish. Crispy on the outside, fudgy in the center, what delightful morsels could possibly be better? Mixing the ingredients, the dough was stiff to make, but I followed to the letter, rolled the balls and baked. When I peeked into the oven, the cookies hadn’t spread, still in rolled brown balls and I felt a little dread. Sure enough, when done and cooled in rows like ducks I found them hard and dry just like little hockey pucks!
