Can you spot the German-made cookie?
Last night I popped a batch of oatmeal/chocolate chip drop cookies into the oven right as I was racing out the door to do the dusk rounds. I asked the Germans if they might be able to pull the cookies out when they were done. Without hesitation the Germans said they could manage, though they couldn’t guarantee there would be any left by the time I returned.
When I eventually got back to the house an hour or so later, not only had the first batch been removed from the oven and cooled, the rest of the batter had been turned into cookies as well. When I looked at the second batch, though, they looked totally different! No blobby, random-shaped, ‘arty’ cookies were these. Instead, each must have contained an identical amount of dough which had been shaped into the most perfectly round cookies ever to have come out of my oven!
The boys explained that the random blobs created by the scoop and drop method just didn’t look right and they couldn’t imagine how they would shape themselves into cookies. The German-engineered solution resulted in lovely, uniform cookies. Not that any of them lasted very long. Lumpy or lovely, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies disappear pretty fast around here.

Quite impressive! Although to my cookie loving eyes both cookies look darn good. Have you thought of gathering a posse’ to keep the the fine gentlemen here? An all female posse’?

They all tasted just fine… A posse. Yes. That’s a fine idea.

Those guys are funny. Better offer them a special deal to stick around.

If I bet on which ones were home-made and which were “store bought,” I’d pick the blobby ones as home-made. And I would instantly assess them as better! Still, very impressive. [Gotta get me a couple of German guys…]
