They are the epitome of every holiday and every family gathering. You are expected, as a wife, or a mother, to be able to make cookies, and to have the time to do so. Sometimes, that just isn't the case, and even if it is, the motivation just isn't there. That's where these amazing inventions come in:
These. Things. Are. A. Godsend.
Ok, well that is a slight exaggeration.. But you see where I'm going with this. You can actually customize these things to fit you tastes if you want. Like, with the chocolate chip lover cookie dough, I use mint Andes chunks on them as well.. And they are delicious.
These things can look a little funky when you put them out though.. And when you bake them, they are slightly square, and it's a dead giveaway that you didn't make them yourself and they are these too-convenient-to-be-acceptable cookies. However, I have discovered recently that you can manipulate the dough to make them cook in a better shape, and then if you also customize them with your own chips and nuts, then people could actually believe that you made them yourself. Even if they don't think you did, they will still question it enough not to say it or mention it... Plus, your husband will just be excited that there are cookies in your house that didn't come from the packaged nonperishable aisles at Target.
Just smoosh them. Yes, a highly technical term, I know.. But really, just smoosh them down with your palm. By the time you've broke the squares apart and set them on the cookie sheets, they are malleable enough to manipulate. So just squish them down, and form them into slightly better circles.

Perfect! Wow, you're good at this whole housewife thing. ;)
Now all you have to do is put them in the oven to bake according to the package's instructions then DONE. "Homemade" cookies.
