2 Reviews of Gift Giving Edible Cookie Bowl

Mirj, so sorry that this didn't work for me... everything went well until I draped the dough over the oven dish that I was using as the form. When I cooked it, it was as if the parts of the dough around the sides was too heavy and cracks appeared as it cooked where the sides met the top, and later once cooked it just broke along these crack lines. As well, the outside of the dough was really baked and pretty, but the inside (which was to be seen when you inverted the cookie bowl) had the rough look of cookie bottoms and was not so visually appealing. The cooked dough mixture itself was tasty, our visitor was snacking on the bits very willingly indeed, and my kids are begging pieces too... what a shame that I just couldn't get it to stay intact. Please see my rating system: sadly two stars for something that was really fun trying but that I at least, couldn't get to work... I followed the recipe but maybe I rolled my dough too thin??? PLEASE someone DO try this becuase if you can get it not to break then you will have a really novelty bowl that tastes good ! Maybe thicker pastry is the answer? Thanks!

This recipe must be wrong. I made the dough and it was so dry that it wouldn't stay together. I added more milk until it did. Also, in the directions it doesn't mention the vanilla. I haven't baked it yet, it's still chilling.
