This weekend I experienced what is without a doubt the biggest disaster in my substantial, if amateur, baking career. However, I am determined to pass along the lessons I've gleaned from this most colossal of pastry eff-ups. It's for the children, really.1. Baking powder is NOT a substitute for baking soda, much like dishwashing liquid cannot be used in a dishwasher (unless you're nostalgic for Cancun spring break foam parties). In either case, disaster.
2. If you live in a dollhouse-sized apartment, your kitchen appliances likely will be proportional. Therefore, a standard-size cookie sheet will NOT fit in the oven.
3. You can overcome the first two problems if you frost the cookies in an artistic, Marimekko-like design.
4. Said design efforts are rendered useless unless you carry the cookies to the party in a level container.
5. No one cares what the cookies look like if they're coated in enough frosting. Still, I recommend serving them after everyone has had a minimum of 2.5 drinks.

Sounds like you are taking a page from the MMorgan Cookbook. Brought a tear to my eye!
