My husband typically doesn’t request sweets, because typically he isn’t a sweets type of guy. But last night, he was craving something sweet and my lemon cobbler nor muffins were the texture he was wanting at the time. What to do? I inquired the texture he was wanting when he let me in on something that honestly after 15 years married I should have caught on to by now. More cookies.
See, when my husband is “craving sweets” he typically is meaning cookies or candy. Not so much cake/brownies. Then he let me in on the tidbit that he prefers cookies overall. You can grab just one and you don’t have to worry about a plate, or a fork, so the fact that theirs overall ‘less to it’ he also enjoys more as well. Which totally makes since when you get to know his personality. So- What kind of cookies did I make him?
