Adventures in Laziness
So I’m in the grocery store tonight and I see the latest innovation in the world of laziness. Pillsbury “Ready to Bake” cookies:
This pre-made cookie dough is already portioned out into “cookie rounds,” so you just throw them onto a cookie sheet and bake.
Because, you know, baking cookies from the regular pre-made Pillsbury cookie dough:
… where you have a tube of o’dough that you have to take 5.2 seconds to cut the dough into “rounds” before you throw them on a cookie sheet… well, that’s just too insurmountable a task.
In the interest of full disclosure, I’d like to say that I’m much more in favour of eating cookie dough raw than I am of baking the dough into cookies proper and, compared to my homemade dough especially, Pillsbury cookie dough raw is barf-tastic. That’s right, I said it.

I love raw cookie dough, but can’t enjoy it right now. I actually make cookies from scratch and my stepkids didn’t know you could do that. How sad is that?
That is sad. But I’m glad you are introducing them to the world of homemade cookies!
Next they’ll come with a robotic doughboy who’ll bake them for you in its oven belly.
I’m lazy beyond belief, but instant cookies like that are sacriligious as far as I’m concerned. I bake from scratch, yo.
