Tonight's dinner was a quick, mostly no-cook affair of grocery store rotisserie chicken, frozen green beans and instant mashed potatoes. While in the grocery store, I picked up a small tube of chocolate chip cookies; since the temperature in my kitchen has dropped from "hotter than the hinges" to "five-alarm", I thought I'd do some baking.
Note that I have ALL the ingredients for scratch cookies at home; the slice and bake kind simply went with the minimal fuss theme of the evening.
This small tube of tollhouse cookies is supposed to yield seventeen cookies. "Self," I said, "that's a pretty stupid number. If I make it eighteen, I can evenly slice the tube and not make myself crazy."
Opening the tube, I cut the roll in half, cut the halves in half again, and cut three cookies from each quarter. About the time I started putting them on the cookie sheet, I realized something was off.*
Totally embarrassing, but still delicious.
*I'm not going to tell you. Do the math.
