Baked 23 cookies, dh ate 8 of them

Adults eat bigger cookies than children. I think the OP's problem was that she divided the house by making cookies for some people who lived there believing that adults don't need cookies!! (Nobody needs cookies)

Next time just make enough for everyone. And don't scold your DH as if you're his mother ☺️

YABU for putting coconut in biscuits. What’s next? Bloody ginger <shudders>

I agree. Yes he ate quite a lot but he didnt eat them all and i don't like food shaming anyone. I grew up with eating disorder because of it.

You've never had a binge?

Homemade cookies barely last a day in our house and there's only three of us. They're amazing warm (and coconut and chocolate sound incredible).

@27Bumblebees it's also fairly jobless to say adults don't need biscuits. Biscuits are joy. Homemade cookies are the pinnacle of this.

This is why I no longer bake at home - I spent ages one Saturday cooking shortbread and a cake as we had family on Sunday, and coming down Sunday morning DH had helped himself to a huge wedge of cake (nearly 1/4 of it). So I had to serve it in slices rather than as a whole cake. He actually said it was so he got a decent slice, like he was entitled to it first

I don't feed pigs, sorry.

I agree with this.

Thanks for the recipe.

Double it next time. I mean, ask DH to double the recipe.

Why can’t he make more? He’s the greedy bastard who ate them?!

What a compliment - he really enjoyed those cookies!

No don't bake some more today. Tell the chicken unfortunately no cookies in their lunchboxes because daddy ate them, unless daddy makes some more.

The recipe was posted hours ago by the op

But they were for the kids.

This. You were doing a chore - preparing food for the kids' lunchboxes - and he undid your work.

Ask him to make some more.

Did I read right - the cookies were a TEASPOON of mixture. So realistically he ate maybe 3 cookies?

He's a full grown adult. Make proper size biscuits, and he won't have to eat 8 of them to get the taste of one.

we're adults, we don't need bloody biscuits

Your husband clearly does. Do you ration all his food or is it just biscuits that you’ve decided he’s not allowed?

Bulk biscuits

Ingredients
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup sugar (brown or white)
1 egg yolk
1½ cup self-raising flour
½ teaspoon salt
²/³ cups rolled oats
²/³ cup optional flavours, such as: chocolate chips, finely chopped dried fruit, desiccated coconut or 3 tablespoons grated orange rind

Method

• Use a mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk.
• Sift over the flour and salt then stir into the butter mixture. Add the oats and extra flavour ingredients then stir to combine. Roll into balls and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. You can also freeze the
batter at this point.

• Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Roll the mixture into teaspoon-sized balls, place them on the baking tray and flatten slightly with a spoon.
• Bake until golden, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Recipe needed please

I get it OP—you weren’t baking a treat for dessert for the weekend. You were doing a job—food prepping for the kids’ lunchboxes for the upcoming week. And the partner who doesn’t do the kids’ food prep ate 1/3 of the week’s lunchbox desserts. In one go. So yes, very frustrating, and disrespectful of the time it takes you to meal prep for the kids. I too do prep cooking on the weekend for the week’s lunchboxes and would be pissed off if I turned my back for five seconds and 1/3 of the prepped food was eaten.

It was a reply to someone rather sniffily saying they couldn't eat more than one because 'self control'. Context is key. Maybe some cookies would help you?

we're adults, we don't need bloody biscuits

You lost me with this sanctimonious twaddle.

Look on the bright side, they must taste damn good! Bake more today and make sure he knows they’re for the kids.

The monster. Next time: Send them to me. I will film myself only eating 7, then send back the remainder and the video. He will be so ashamed when shown my superior self-control that he will never do it again. I will do this for you out of the goodness of my heart.

To be honest if your attitude is that "adults don't need biscuits", then I'm not surprised he over indulged when some turned up on the kitchen side. What a pathetic thing to say.

Maybe op lives with the Cookie Monster.

"It's the men who think they're such a Billy Bigballs, a Big Person, so they're entitled to take whatever they want and the little people (wife and/or kids) will just have to manage with what's left.

It makes my blood boil."

This is such blatant misandry. How common is it for wives and girlfriends to say they don't ant chips, desert etc then change their mind and nick some from their partner? Such Brenda bigboobs taking whatever they want !!
