Half-Baked

This just seems pitiful to me:


The recipe calls for a package of refrigerated cookie dough, to which you add more sugar (powdered) and cream cheese. Beat all together. Then roll in sugar. Gag. Good thing you bought the 5 lb bag of sugar the recipe is printed on. At this rate you'll have it for the next 20 years.

What I don't get is that it's supposed to be some kind of time-saver. But you are still getting a bowl and mixer dirty and everything else that goes along with the simple task of cookie-making. You do get the bonus of partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil, plus whatever those all encompassing vaguenesses called 'natural and artificial flavor' are.

Semi-homemade is a bizarre contradiction. Oy!
