Dear Dad,

Good morning.  I have an unfortunate question to ask regarding Nonnie's "Doo Dads".

While making these, i was inspired to try to get a little of the caramelization that occurs when you bake palmiers.  So i cranked the broil to high and hoped for the best.

Literally, i turned around for a few seconds to clean up the flour mess, and Hark!

I burned the "Doo Dads".

*groan*

So my question is:  is this what you'd call a "Doo Don't"? :)

Love, 

Your Daughter Who Obviously Shouldn't Tinker With Nonnie's Recipes

P.S.  Cookie Monster's taken a liking to renaming the "Doo Dads" to "Doo Dahs".
