Monster cookie dough was a staple of my diet in high school. I would make a batch every couple weeks and it would never actually make its way into cookie form. It just lived in an ice cream bucket in the refrigerator where I would spoon it out for a few days before my Mom threw it away out of disgust…
Is that gross?
I don’t think so…
I miss high school and college where you can eat cookie dough, cereal and popcorn every day without feeling any guilt. I try it sometimes as an adult but always feel the vegetable drawer glaring at me with shame…
Since this weekend was the weekend after Thanksgiving I felt no guilt making a giant batch of cookies (which I actually baked!) and eating half the dough. They were just as delicious as I remember. In fact, they were even better this time because I added chopped up Oreos.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I wish you luck as the upcoming holiday season bears down upon us all! Eat dessert, smile at the awful lady who cut you in line at the noodle shop, let the really slow pedestrian cross the street and lastly, shop online when possible. As my sister-in-law so wisely put it, “keep it simple” in the month of December. Goodbye, November, where did you go so quickly? Hopefully goodbye facial hair above Mikey’s lip…and hello, December. Let’s not forget the REAL reason we celebrate this wonderful month!
