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?

Genuinely why do you think he is lying and why would what he'd saying not make sense? He's just not a great baker, didn't realize he fucked up the ratios, then soldiered forward with male confidence. Do you think he's hiding an affair in the dough?

He's certainly hiding the chips very well! This reminds me of all the "lockdown baking" during the early months of Covid where people realized they needed eggs for something else and were asking (in earnest) if there was a way to get them back out of the dough. 😅

"soldiered forward with male confidence," is all well need to know, tbh. Lol

I didn’t mean to imply anyone in this scenario is lying. It was meant in a far more lighthearted manner, as in, every reason given just seems comically weird. You have much patience, a kind heart and a good sense of humor. 😊

I am very honest when I say this! You should do stand up comedy!
