What I wish I knew before trying cookies with a surprising constraint

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where pastry stopped feeling new.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether cookies stayed easy. A little friction removed goes a long way. Now I'm hungry, which feels unfair.

That is a much better way to say it.
