#1150 – Oblivious

I really liked the peanut butter cookies that my mom made when I was a kid. They weren’t very common and the crisscross pattern on top added to their uniqueness. I was completely amazed when I saw her making them for the first time and realized the pattern was simply formed by squishing it with a fork. They were slightly less mysterious but just as tasty.

    When I first learned to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch it was like I’d unlocked a great secret… but with great power comes great waistline expansion.

    Cookie Ninja!

    Around my house, ther are four Cookie Ninjas. It’s bloody war by stealth and ambush until the cookies are gone. If, however, the cookies are peanut butter, well, that’s when I go nuclear.

    Everyone in my house is very picky on what type of cookie they’ll eat. Mom is M&M Chocolate Chip, Dad is Sugar Cookies, and I like Snickerdoodles & Gingersnaps. The most commonly seen cookie though is the chocolate chip, because Mom always wins the ‘what cookies are we going to get’ debate.

    The wild chocolate chip cookie is so much tastier than the farm-raised, domesticated kind. And the thrill of the hunt makes them just that much better …

    But what of the toaster?!? Always. Always. *ALWAYS* suspect the toaster.

    (Always.)

    LOL, good job Chris, I actually didn’t even see Biff for several moments, the ninja techniques obviously work.

  7. SleepySheep says:

    It was moments later that Ninja Biff learned his fatal mistake. He had forgotten to feed the toaster again.

    You know, I remember snickerdoodles used to be amazingly tasty when I was a kid. My grandma would only make them during Christmas, and they would always be gone well before New Years, but they were always delicious. After she moved, she gave us her recipe, and although we try to make at least a batch or two every year, they just don’t have that same deliciousness. Maybe it’s because I now know what goes into them, while when I was a kid they were just round discs of deliciousness and that was all I ever had to know?

    Hopefully those cookies haven’t adapted to their predator-ridden environment yet, or Biff will have quite a surprise with their defensive techniques.

    “Even revolutionaries like chocolate chip cookies.” (what Mike Doonesbury thought to himself after using the tasty treats to stop Mark Slackmeyer from droning on about his usual soapbox stuff)

    Meanwhile, I’d better start suspecting soon. I can’t deal with ninjas

    Cookies the most dangerous of big game…

    “Good evening, this is Marlin Perkins. Tonight on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, we see what happens when a hungry predator stalks a herd of wild cookies. Both predator and prey are formidable adversaries, who will win this battle? Watch and find out…”

    Cookies: Easy to make, delicious to eat. I learned how to make chocolate chip cookies at a young age, and still think they are best straight from the oven. I was always to lazy to make them though, and so I didn’t gain weight when I learned how.

  14. Linzleh says:

    Unsuspecting cookies are more tender of course! Biff must pluck one stealthily for that melt in your mouth goodness…

  15. YukiYukimura says:

    Cookies taste best freshly caught, although cooking them tends to make them chewwier.
    I suggest deep frying them.
    …well, they do it with mars bars, dont they?
    …mmmmmm…. deep fried mars…..

    @Roborat
    Corrected the last bit:
    “…who will win? Watch and find out…
    …after the break”

    your ninja are no match for my delicious chocolate chips

    I never learned where the criss-cross pattern came from until I was in my 30’s. It was still amazing.
