Fake it til you bake it

By Nathalie01 - 23/01/2025 20:00 - United States - Chattanooga

Today, I surprised my boyfriend by baking him some cookies for the first time. He took a bite and said, "Wow, these taste exactly like the ones my mom used to make!" I couldn't bring myself to admit that I'd used a store-bought mix, because I can’t bake to save my life. FML

Same thing different taste

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.... What I read was you made him happy. Good on you! Maybe his mom did the same thing. Don't let that part bother you.

YDI just for not titling this "Fake it til you bake it" Seriously though, it shouldn't matter. It was kind of you to do it, and they tasted good. Pre-made mix or from scratch, doesn't matter.

Maybe his mum also used a store-bought mix.

You'd be surprised how many people can't follow a recipe, even for a packaged mix.

Luckily you seem to have bought the same brand of box cookies as his mum used to 😅
