I was talking to a friend the other night while making cookies and I forgot to hit the timer button on the last batch of the evening. About 20 minutes later, I went sniff sniff, what is that smell? before remembering about the cookies. As my mother has noted in the past, I am one of the few people who could manage to burn cookies on a no-burn cookie sheet.

I almost threw them out, but then a vague memory suggested that might be unnecessary. I brought that last pan-full of cookies in to work yesterday and they're almost gone.

I don't get it.
