Hours since dough-making: 24
Frozen dough yield: 5 dozen + four (-two, consumed frozen)
First bake yield: six cookies
Second bake yield: four cookies
Cookie ranking system:
1: Would not eat again, even if someone else baked for me. Cookie failure.
2: Would eat again, if baked for me. Would not have seconds.
3: Would ask half-hearted-ly for recipe if cooked for me. Would not actually bake.
4: Would bake for myself. Would probably screw the recipe up due to consumption of two glasses of red wine.
5: Would bake for myself. Would pay attention during baking process.
6: Would bake for myself. Would share leftovers with co-workers. (aka Threshold for Sharing << a pivotal point in this ranking system)
7: Would bake for a party. Would eagerly anticipate praise.
8: Would bake regularly, hoping the recipe became a signature dish.
9: Potential to over-bake this cookie. Over-baking in this case = baking these cookies like all the time, not baking until burnt.
10: Boo-yah. Cookie nirvana.
First bake cookies (the dough right after being refrigerator for 24 hours): 3 - cookies were dry, puffy and wicked lame.
Frozen dough: 10 - frozen cookies are available for on-the-spot consumption AND freshly-made 7s are available within 15 minutes.
Five hot cookies and two frozen cookies later, you're welcome.
I used to buy tubs of frozen dough from coworkers (their kids forms, etc) and would just sit down and eat it with a spoon for lunch at the office when it came in. Yeah, that was back when my metabolism was good. Otherwise known as pre "age 27"
