Vicki made some cookies last night for the family home evening treat while Ben was preparing his lesson. For once, Vicki didn't make these cookies from scratch. She used a Krusteaz chocolate chunk cookie mix.
Ben then headed into the kitchen and, without a recipe, made chocolate chip cookies from scratch.
We sang, we prayed, and we had a scripture. It was time for the lesson.
"Here are two different cookies. Mom made cookies from a mix that had exact measurements. The cookies I made without a recipe. Take a bite of each cookie and tell me what you think."
Honestly, Ben's cookies were superior. They looked more appetizing, had a much better texture, and the flavor was excellent (including my favorite parts of the bitterness of the chocolate and the hint of baking soda.).
From there, it was hard to make the point that the world was put together with a plan of exacting steps. On this night, the haphazard boom beat the intelligent design.
PS. Before I start getting comments, Ben has been making cookies since he was eight. He even took a cooking class as a freshman in high school. He pretty much has a chocolate chip cookie recipe memorized.
