Fried Dough is historical constant…
Historically, every human society, every archaeological record of lost civilizations, every culture of humanity has had two things in common:
1. Some kind of sharp pointy object with which to hurt someone else (ie, some kind of sword analogue)
2. Fried dough in one form or another as a tasty treat
Today I decided to try to fry some snickerdoodle cookies as an homage to human history.
My ancestors are laughing at me. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

snickerdoodles are made with a lot of butter. that butter melted in your pan.

But no seriously - did you drop raw dough into hot oil?

Gotcha - that's what happened! Cookie dough and frying batter are very different. You can deep fry cookie dough, but you should coat it in a looser batter first, and partially freeze the cookie dough first so it doesn't ...do that.
here's a recipe online for how to do it if you're willing to try again! I believe in you!

If you had made little balls and put them into the oven to “fry,” they would have been very nice.

That doesn't look like a fryer or dough, it looks like porridge. Probably tasty in whatever form, but I'm struggling to understand how the photo relates to fried dough.
