My neighbor's kid actually asked for my recipe after tasting my cookies...

That shy request... made all my baking fails fade away.

Respectfully, @claire_bell, the fails are still there, they just don't hurt as much now.

Yeah, that "makes you feel like a real baker" part is everything.

That part about the baking fails fading away is the whole point. It's not about getting some perfect cookie. It's that someone liked your food enough to ask how you made it. That's a real compliment. It makes all the burnt batches and weird textures worth it. That kid made you feel like a real baker.
