I screwed up! Darn...I hate this metric thing. I will NEVER get used to it! I was trying to figure out how much pineapple I needed in my Pineapple Nut Drop cookies when it said I needed a 10 oz can. The cans here are 389 mls. So somewhere I had checked to see how many mls to an oz..or vice versa and realized that if I used a 1/4 cup of pineapple extra (from an 8 oz measuring cup) then it would be the equivalent of 10 oz.
The problem is that I didn't measure out an 8 oz cup! I used the whole can PLUS 1/4 cup and dumped it into my batter before I realized it. So, I have the equivalent of 448 mls and about 1 and 1/2 times the pineapple that it called for. DARN! Now, what the heck do I do? Here's the recipe and I've only gotten to the part where I added the pineapple and the nuts.
2/3 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
one 10 oz can crushed pineapple including juice
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt.
The next part is just to add the dry ingredients....
Should I add extra flour and baking soda and salt? Darn! I don't want this batter to be so juicy that it will run all over the cookie sheet.
Thank you for your help and I'll wait till I hear from some of you experts.
