You will. I did. The first time, I made a perfect circle and then let it cool flat. It looked like a sad cookie. I ate it anyway. Zero regrets.
If your cone cracks, it’s either too thin or too cool. Next time, add a teaspoon more milk to the batter. If it’s too thick, it’s basically a hard taco shell. Still delicious, just not cone-shaped.
Pro tip: Double the batch. Seriously. These disappear like magic. I once made eight cones and they were gone before the ice cream melted. My family is a pack of wolves.

You want a chocolate cone? Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the dry mix. You want cinnamon? Add ½ teaspoon. You want to be that person who brings spice cones to a party? Add a pinch of cayenne. You’re a rebel.
I’ve even made them with coconut milk instead of dairy. Works like a charm, though they’re a little more fragile. Handle with care, like a tiny, edible newborn.
Want them extra crispy? Spread the batter thinner. Want them chewy? Thicker batter and less cooking time. You’re the boss of your cone destiny.
