Apple Date Swirl Cookies

So, my oven exploded- the door that is. We came home from the mall on Chistmas eve to a very smokey kitchen filled with debris of the shattered oven door.. it’s like a (very small) bombing scene in a movie and it happened on Christmas eve, when I have so many food to bake, you can just imagine my dismay but we were still thankful that it did not burn the house down.

How it must have happened: I left a pan of bibingka (a rice cake which I’ve been unsuccessfylly trying to make at home) in the oven before we left in the morning. I turned the oven off but I did not pull the plug off from the wall. My oven short-circuited; the temp went to the highest setting and burned the rice cake inside which we think caught fire that built pressure inside, that made the oven door explode to bits. I should have taken photos but that didn’t come to mind at the time; I was just so relieved and thankful that it’s just the oven door and nothing else were damaged or destroyed. Thank God! 🙂

But guess what- oven’s still working; the frame of my oven is still intact so I just covered the window with aluminum foil and hang tea towels to keep it insulated and it works. I was still able to bake the lasagna I prepared the night before and the pork roast also made it too for our Christmas Eve dinner but not the cake; I did not risk making a cake.. yet. Although I’ve tried making apple pie which baked perfectly too.

This apple date swirl cookie recipe is one of the few ones I’ve made before that incident happened
