OK Weight Watchers – listen up and listen good: When you are on a diet weight management plan all you want is dessert (ok – well that maybe that is just me). It doesn’t have to be decadent, but it does have to taste good. No one wants to eat dessert that looks like animal terd or tastes like it.
Yesterday, I made 2 Weight Watcher cookie recipes. One went straight in the garbage after the first batch finished baking (note to readers – that would be the angel food cake mix and jelly recipe given to me by my WW leader – if you get it – RUN, as fast as you can away from it!). The second cookie I made was this chocolate cookie. I printed my recipe directly from the WW website, so I know this is definitely one of theirs. The saving grace of this cookie was the fact that I used a very deep, very expensive cocoa. Otherwise it tasted like a weak ass, wannabe brownie. Last night, probably because I was SOridiculously in need of something sweet, I thought they tasted AWESOME. Today – not so much. I now understand why Cheezwaster took one bite and threw the rest of the cookie in the garbage. Is there no one at Weight Watchers that can design a dessert recipe that actually tastes like dessert? Previously, I had also made a “muffin” recipe from their cookbook, which 1) was not sweet at all and 2) was nothing like a muffin (more like a biscuit). Another disappointment. I think from now on, I’m just going to stop wasting ingredients in my pantry and just save points and go for the good/real stuff. A small piece of REAL brownie would satify me a million times more than the whole batch of chocolate cookies I made yesterday. Another Lesson Learned.
