I wonder how many batters I’ve made
trying to finally find that one perfect recipe
No, not even perfect. Perfection is too much for me to ask, my mate
Just something that’ll satiate my undying desire to make a decent cookie
First blame the recipe from online
Then doubt the oven
But maybe it was the impatience that made the cookies rather sublime
Or the overuse of baking soda that turned the cookies into mutant muffins
I’m not giving up – just taking a break
Looking for other things to do in the meanwhile
There’s more opportunities for me to bake
I’ll make my break worthwhile
