morethanpretty was wishing she had some "cookie mix" -- a dry mix that, with a little added water and a trip to the microwave, somehow turns into actual cookies.

To the group's consternation, our collective championing of real ingredients, a good ol' fashioned oven, and honest physical labor -- or even some refridgerated tube cookie dough! -- was met with disapproval.

How "fresh" cookies can come from a box I will never know. Brownies and cakes, I'll grant you, but even little kids can make chocolate chip cookies from scratch.

(For the record, other chatters were guilty of such attrocities as trying to cook eggs in the microwave or toasting Pop Tarts with the foil still on. But nothing as bad as cookie mix.)
