I’M SWITCHING TO GHIRADELLI.

November 8, 2009

AHEM:

I’m not sure when fond memories of baking cookies with your mom didn’t involve creaming butter and sugar, arguing about measuring flour, huffing the vanilla, and DID involve cutting open a package, pulling apart the dough and baking it.  I mean, come on.

My favorite part of this commercial is when grandma decides to bake cookies—because she is THE ONLY ONE who makes them from scratch.  What a quaint old fashioned tradition.  Only grandmas bake cookies from scratch!

The thing everyone says about cooking is that when you make it with love, it tastes delicious.  I know it is totally dorky, but it’s true.  If I’ve ever made you a baked good, you should know that it came from a happy little kitchen where the chef wears a personalized apron, blasts 90s music, and uses actual ingredients.  And sometimes, she lovingly pets the Kitchen Aid.  There is no love in a tube of dough.

Here’s what I put in my cookies:

-butter
-sugar (TWO KINDS—GOD, ONLY A CRAZY OLD LADY WOULD USE TWO KINDS OF SUGAR)
-flour
-salt
-baking soda
-eggs
-vanilla
-chocolate chips
-Ace of Base

and their cookies:
-shit I can’t pronounce

I dunno, guys.  Grandma wins.
