If you happen to have bread, you can spread the butter on a slice, cover the top with sugar, and use a cookie cutter to make "instant cookies" for your dolly tea party. Just be sure to eat the scraps, and eat the cookies for the dollies because they can't. Mustn't waste food!
I never had any in my childhood, mom told me they were terrible and she only bought them for a box. Now last week a few decades later, one of them has caught my eye in a store so I immediately bought some. Man, my mom was absolutely right, that goddamned box has managed to disappoint me twice...
These cookies are like the shittiest cookies you'd serve to someone in Denmark. They're for when you have to put something on the table but kind of don't want to, so you go for the cheap and easy option.
Baking them yourself is better, but they're still bland and boring.
The union sometimes gives out food packages to random members, and we got the big package one year. A small version of this was in there and I was delighted!
And when we were done it immediately appeared in my sewing room like magic!
Just like crocodiles. Back from the days before time, when there was no plastic to package the things, and this one dinosaur lives on to remind us of the possibilities we had.

You can still get them!
Pros of being an adult: you can buy cookies whenever you want.

Pros of living in Denmark: they have these at every grocery store and even the cheap brands are amazing

Maybe you, I can buy cookies for about 5 minutes after my paycheck clears
artifex@piefed.social · 10 pts · 33d
Damn, how many cookies are you buying that quickly?!
vrek@programming.dev · 13 pts · 33d
With current prices? 2.5 cookies

Of course they were, they were basically butter rolled in sugar!

This is a cool idea and I think it will be my daughter's new favorite thing!

You sound like a person who has sprinkles. If so, sprinkle.

Caramel/butterscotch is literally this, heat till brown.
vrek@programming.dev · 1 pts · 32d
If I am making butterscotch should I also pour in some scotch?
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de · 11 pts · 32d
Man. I'm total opposite. They kind of sucked.

I'm really tempted to ban you...
But seriously we can all have opinions. If you ever happen to be given these though let me know and I'll send you an address to ship them to
naticus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 32d
Is it my address? Because I hope it's my address.

I'd give anything to be a sugar baby to someone who'd regularly supply me with Royal Dansk.

But then you need to buy so many sewing kits

You gotta have Royal Dansk.
They are the good ones.
The knockoff ones are always shitty.

You're 100% correct that they suck.

Put your random sockets and screwdriver bits in those tins. My auntie was impressed at the amount of organization.
