Often times, appearances can be deceiving, especially when it comes to food. While I was away in Ipoh with Cass recently, Sherilyn whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough and left it in the fridge. When I returned, the first thing that caught my eye in the fridge was a tray of chilled cookie dough. To put it bluntly, it didn’t look appetizing at all. In fact, it bore a striking resemblance to something far less palatable – let’s just say it resembled poop 💩
The color and even the texture of the dough left much to be desired. However, as the saying goes, “Never judge a cookie by its dough!” And I was about to witness a transformation.
With a sense of curiosity and a dash of skepticism, I watched as Sherilyn baked the “poop-like” cookie dough in the oven. When the cookies emerged from the oven, they looked nothing like the unappetizing dough I had seen earlier. Instead, they were golden brown, adorned with gooey chocolate chips, and exuded a delightful aroma of butter and chocolate. And they looked like cookies from some fancy cafes.
The true magic happened when I took a bite. These cookies were a revelation! They were chocolaty, rich, and had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was as though the unassuming dough had undergone a magical transformation in the oven.
Sherilyn shared these cookies with her colleagues at the café and saved some for Cass and me. The consensus was unanimous – these cookies were a triumph. So, never judge a cookie by its dough and always be open to culinary surprises!
