BLOG FATIGUE CURE-ALL: BROWNIE MIX OR RAW COOKIE DOUGH


I am a semi-writer by trade. Don’t be jealous. Seriously don’t. My job is basically to write stuff you ignore on a daily basis. I create those store posters that say … BUY THIS!!! SAVE ON THAT!!! YOU COULD WIN!!! Real creative. NOT!!!  But hey, that doesn’t mean I’m impervious to the ol’ writers block. Get it all the time. If I am at work I usually do one of two things to get my noggin working again:
Take a walk
Take a piss
Both free up my mind. And as we all know, when you’re not thinking about something that’s exactly when the idea hits you. If I’m at home I add one more trick to the list – scarfing down raw batter or cookie dough. The pure sugar, raw eggs, and powdered chocolate are like jumper cables for my brain. Since I am always trying to lose weight I kinda use it as a last resort, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Here are my picks. Enjoy.



Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies: Nothing beats Betty C!!! This mix to me is pure perfection. It’s not overly sweet. Just the right creaminess. A nice chocolately taste. And I actually like that gritty texture. Feels like I’m getting something for my money.



Pillsbury® Cookie Dough: What really makes this a true stand out is the “dough to chip” ratio. When you finger the dough and get that nice big glob, you usually get like 4 -6 chips. That to me is the perfect amount. Anything more and you lose the taste of the dough.


BONUS:



Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Dark Chocolate Frosting: In a pinch frosting will do nicely. Pillsbury is good too. I just think Betty gets the nod when it comes to the creamy factor. SERVING TIP: Use a plastic spoon. Metallic silverware will kill the taste.

  2. Hungry....and laughing my ass off at: "And I actually like that gritty texture. Feels like I’m getting something for my money."

    Thanks for the supportive comment on my blog. I really appreciate it (and it made me giggle, too.) If I already told you that, sorry...my brain is everywhere today. Maybe I need to take a piss.

  4. Ok so I have anxieties and one of them is samonella. I NEVER eat raw dough of any kind. Never. I obsessively wash my hands when dealing with raw eggs or poultry ( no red meat here).
    I recently baked a strawberry cake with buttercream frosting and it kicked ass!

  14. I KNOW I commented on this and it hasn't shown - stupid blogspot glitch.

    Basically I avowed my love and preference for cake mix rather than the finished product.
