My teenagers’ critiques of her youth group’s baking practices really tickled me.
I honestly didn’t realize how much my kid picked up on just being around me. She’s not interested in baking that much.
She went to a youth group event where they were baking cookies to donate to a shelter. Afterwards, she came back and complained to me about their ‘slipshod baking practices’. (Don’t worry, she assured me she was very polite in the moment.) These were regular chocolate chip cookies.
1. They included sugar in all of the ‘dry’ ingredients.
2. They put all of the dry ingredients into a bowl, then all of the wet ingredients, THEN mixed it all together.
3. They used almond extract instead of vanilla on accident, then added double the amount of vanilla to try and balance it.
4. They didn’t have brown sugar so they just used more white sugar.
5. They forgot to preheat the oven. So they just put the dough in the room temp oven and then baked them while the oven was preheating.
She said they barely bothered to read the recipe. Just looked at the ingredient list and threw all of the stuff in a bowl.
I’m touched my kid pays enough attention to what I do in the kitchen to 1) notice all of these things as not great practice and 2) remember them all and tell me later. Honestly none of them are BAD bad you just wont end up with good cookies.
