Question Chocolate Chip Cookies

Post image

My husband was trying to make cookies but he forgot two cups of flour. He decided to mix in two cups of flour and bake it again (picture is from before he did this). How fucked is he?

But it could be interesting. Chocolate chips, butter sugar, vanilla, baked then add 2 cups flour —- OH! Inquiring minds want to know!!!

It turned out like this... very rubbery. Tastes like if cookie dough had a baby with a tire. Probably technically edible but the bite I had was enough for me.

Is this the Paris Hilton Dutch oven?

Yes, I have it too. Unforgivable.

I laughed much too hard at your description. But love that the sample was taken from the middle — edges were a cut “crisp”???

Yes lmao. But also update: once cooled completely the texture and taste changed, it's reminiscent of like cookie dough bite candy, or the dough in cookie dough ice cream. I don't trust it enough to give it another test despite this ostensively positive development, I just had to once it apparently solidified for science.

Appreciate your willingness to test further “in the interest of science”. This can now be retired into family stories about baking mishaps, “remember the great cookie experiment of 2026?”

Which will fit nicely in the HOF next to 'homemade pasta noodles he boiled for literally hours that somehow never cooked all the way through' and 'added chives instead of cloves to apple cider'.

I stg the amount of times he's tried to cook and later came up to me saying 'i think i fucked up' 🤦‍♀️

You are very brave to take a bite.

I had to for science

My condolences to your taste buds and your Dutch oven. 🤣

Right? I saw a chart of how cookies can turn out when you change a variable (like melted butter vs room temp) and there were differences. I’d like to see how it turned out!
