Cook Monkeys

Our third day of cookies occurred on the immediate Wednesday following our previous cookie caper. Matt made cookies this time. He was making “Black & Tan Cookies” as featured on Deep Fried, Live!, an online animated cooking show hosted by an accident-prone octopus. His reason for making cookies was so that he could show them off to people back home who had been anticipating them for about a month.

Matt made too many cookies that night. The recipe makes a batch of about 36 medium-sized cookies, and Matt decided to make two batches because he thought they would disappear quickly. The next day he packed in some boxes and mailed them home so he could give them out to friends over break. He had trouble making the cookies disappear over break because apparently he thought a lot more people would be eating them. Matt now does not want to make, touch, or eat cookies for a long, long time.
