Batterlicious Review

I heard about this product on the radio and the idea of being able to safely eat raw cookie dough as well as bake with it was mighty tempting. I purchased my favorite flavors and decided to give them a shot.

First the raw test:

This stuff is dangerous. I found the texture a little coarser than regular cookie dough but the flavor was exactly the same. I had to make a conscious effort to stop tasting and put the containers away. If I were to levy one complaint, perhaps mini peanut butter cups? But that’s a super minor point. It’s not even a complaint, really. More of an observation and one that won’t stop me from snarfing this down.

And for the baked test:

Yeah, they’re singed. Get over it.

The chocolate chips are on the left and the peanut butter is on the right. To be completely honest, they taste good but very different from regular cookies. There’s this strange sort of sweetness to it; like someone slipped and out in too much vanilla or sugar. Would I eat a pile of them? Hellz yeah.

Overall, I am more likely to just eat the dough than bake them because if I wanted to bake cookies, I’d just get regular dough (because it’s cheaper). But man, as fulfilling a craving goes? Raw is the way to go. I’m glad got this stuff! Delicious!

Screw Black Friday

I gotta give it to people who actually camp outside of stores in order to grab the latest thingamabob that TV tells them they want this year. But I for one avoid the whole damn thing. I can’t stand it.

I’ve worked in retail so the only reason I would be in a store on Black Friday is if I got time and a half to be there. The concept of "ZOMG, BUY MY CHEAP CRAP NAOW!!" in order to drive people into such a frenzy they kill one another seems barbarous and manipulative. I make it a point not to buy a damn thing I don’t need on Black Friday.

I will, however, be participating in Small Business Saturday to support my fellow Etsy members and other small business that really suffer in the wake of giant discount megamarts trying to squish them.

I’m a hippy, so sue me.

I for one am glad to be in the library today and will stay away from stores whenever I can ’till late January or so. I shop online when applicable but mostly, I give baked goods as presents. Cheap, fun, and I can tailor each gift to the person. And what I really love about them? You don’t have to keep them! They won’t gather dust on a shelf, can’t get bored with them, and if they break, you can still use ’em. XD Hell, if you break a cookie, all the calories fall out. 😉

But if you’re out or going out to brave the hordes today, for heaven’s sakes be careful!
