Why Are Broken Cookies Better?

Sooner — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 15:33:08 GMT

I just snagged a piece of a broken cookie from an almost empty package and it was so very good! As I stood there thinking how good it was, it dawned on me that for some reason a bite of broken cookie is such a treat! It sometimes seems sweeter than the whole cookies.

Is it because it's a little bonus? A little "sin?" A stolen moment or a brief crunch?

Sometimes a broken moment in life can turn out to be sweeter than the ones planned for and anticipated. Sometimes we can't see what good might lie ahead from a seemingly broken moment or experience.

Take your cookies when they are passed; even if they are broken!

And especially if you eat them standing up.
Oh wait, that has something to do with getting pregnant.

They're so much better because you have an excuse for not sharing them! 🍪 👹

Because if you break it, you have to take it!

I loved your additional message.

I do like the scrapings from the homemade fudge pot more than a piece of fudge later. Warm is often more flaverful than room temperature. I hate to be served a cold meal out too!

@ECBG I can understand that. A whole bite of fudge is so sweet and sticky it just gags you. So yes, scrapings would not do that! Good idea!

@Sooner

So sorry fudge gags you; I'm fine with it. It's tart and sour I can't tolerate. It feels like an ice pick under my ear.

@ECBG Must be opposites! I love lemon and I often add lemon to things and love salads of all kinds with vinegar only. And then there's HOT which is also my thing.

And can't stand fudge. My mom's family is wild about it and it's too much for me.

@Sooner

I do love lemon meringue pie and key lime pie; they don't hit me under my ear.

I can't tolerate hot and burn easily. DH and our sons loved unusual hot sauces and ghost peppers.

@ECBG LOL!!! It takes all kinds! I do think we have pretty opposite tastes because I'm not a fan of anything with a lot of mayo in it--like the salads you love!

I didn't grow up with hot sauced foods, but have come to love them since living in regions where Mexican, Tex Mex, South American and New Mexican cooking is a big part of the food mix here.

@Sooner

If you live in that region and were introduced early, that's a massive difference!

@ECBG It was much late in life for me (30's?) but it is very much a part of our culture now. And since it is part of how we cook, it isn't the greasy food you normally think of, and we aren't big on cheese either so we don't add much, or if we eat out it gets raked off. But I miss the spice and heat if we go more than 10 days or so without!

Eating anything over the sink in the dark is minus calories! 😁

It makes you feel less guilty about eating 10 little pieces as opposed to eating the whole cookie. Justification, ya know .

Well, broken cookies may have no calories, but cake is another story!

My mom once said "I must've gained 10 pounds in my life, just by straightening cakes."
