This Woman Tried To Make Heart-Shaped Cookies, But They Look Just Like Balls
As Bob Ross would say “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” And these macaroon cookies that look like balls were definitely a happy accident.

This beautiful tragedy comes from Emma Plummer, who is a baker that specializes in macaroons.

Apparently, it’s very difficult to make heart-shaped baked goods look like hearts, rather than just cookies that look like balls.
I feel like. The first time I made heart shaped ones it was rough pic.twitter.com/GPi3fftMrc

As the tweet gained traction, someone asked if the macaroons were meant for a bake sale. And they were…FOR CHILDREN!
Yep. School bake sale. Gonna bring them anyway to piss off the Karen’s https://t.co/LEfT9T7o05

Another person chimed in to tell a baker who specializes in macaroons how to make macaroons.
All of the “yOu HaD a TeMpLaTe” responses make me actually LOL because 99% of these people have no idea the time and effort that come with making these the right way and how hard they actually are https://t.co/UQIvDioIvl

The tweet, and Emma’s great sense of humor, brought her some opportunities.
