Baked 23 cookies, dh ate 8 of them

[27Bumblebees]

I baked some cookies after dinner, like I do most weekends so the kids had some slightly less unhealthy snacks to go in their lunch boxes and to just have in the house. At the end of the night I went to put them in a container from the cooling rack and only 14 remained. I had one, so dh took 8 of them in the two hours since I cooked them! What kind of shitty self control is that.

I feel more pissed off that I took a little bit of time to do something nice (mainly for the kids, we're adults, we don't need bloody biscuits), and he's just gone for it with no respect for anyone else. Only apologised when I called him out for it. Ugh.

Counting the biscuits 😮

I'm googling coconut and oat cookies now as am at a loose end! Have found a recipe where I have all the ingredients so am now going to have to make them! Damn you, OP 😉

Glad I not the only one who wondered about the 23! I personally could not have resisted, they sound delicious!

Anyone else just tucked into some biscuits? Today will not be a losing weight day

Men are such vile creatures. LTB.

That’s why I make a double batch. DH turns into a 7-year old around homemade biscuits and would scoff the lot if I wouldn’t. He runs out of stomach room after about a dozen.

8 is pure greed

Well it is shitty self control to eat a whole third of something someone made for the whole family in one sitting.

people seem to be focusing on the husband eating part and not the fact that it’s OPs hard work and time

I rest my case.

do you need a new patio?

Adults don't need biscuits?

Jeeze - Mary Louise- and the Wee Little Donkey.
What joyless fandangaley is this?

Please

The wrapper has measurements printed on it so you can cut the amount needed by length. It says 1/4, 1/2, 1c along the side of the package.

After a while you can just eyeball it.

Are cookies a very rare occurrence at your place? Are you seriously so upset or are you joking?

And did you actually count how many you made, how many each member of the family ate?! Unless you are in poverty this is very weird...

I think what would bug me is that was part of planning for lunch boxes for the week. OP could've said to gluttonous DH, don't eat these, I've baked them for the dc. She didn't and now, unsurprisingly, she has to ltb. This is obviously a pattern. 🧐

What has need got to do with it ? It's clearly a compliment to your baking skills and everyone knows cookies/biscuits taste best still warm from the oven. I Might suggest baking a batch and a half, or even double next time...or make the dough , slice and freeze so you can bake on demand. Eight sounds as though he found them irresistible

What an absolute non issue. If that's all you have to moan and whine about in life consider yourself bloody lucky!

OP are you serious? It's cookies. Get over it.

Was he stoned? If so then fair play to him for not eating all of them. If not then still I admire his self control. Get over it and make more next time.

LTB

will you share the recipe please?
I think it's from Mrs Beeton's Book of Bastarding Baking in the It's Not About the Cookies section. The secret ingredient is years of pent-up resentment.

Exactly. Not to mention OP's DH knew that they are largely for 3 children to have in their lunch boxes.

Nothing wrong with eating a few but 8? It's just selfish, as is not offering to bake any replacements.

My DH eats all the sweet treats. He will pinch birthday cake and chocolate.
However the DS (25)went up to London last week and had eaten:

Half a packet of skin on chips
A steak
A cooked chicken
A packet of bagels
A wedge of brie
A loaf of bread
And all the Nutella
In addition to three meals a day.

The scoffer left the bananas bought for his munchies.

Did he though? Or did he just know OP made a batch of cookies on a Saturday and he didn't want the kids eating too many?!

I'd never make treats on a Saturday that are meant for next week's lunches. They wouldn't make it to Monday morning never mind the week!

It appears that people are having trouble understanding me. I said I have eaten 4 biscuits in one go. Other sugary food items exist and there are loads of hours in a day 😂 plus, people have really taken an off the cuff remark deadly serious 😂😂
