“...I actually enjoyed the process and — shockingly — didn’t feel like abandoning ship after the first cookie.” Ha ha ha... I can so relate! I do a lot of baking (and cooking) and I find cookies, esp decorated ones, too fiddly & exasperating and usually after the first couple am ready to jump ship. I now give myself permission to make 1 dozen or less.
I love how the Me-project turned into a family gig; my mom did all sorts of baking projects with me and cleaned up a few food coloring boo-boos along the way, too. I ended up in pastry school, so you just never know!
