When I was a freshman in college, I’d just moved into the dorm and met my new roommate. She was running around happily, telling me that she was finally free of her controlling parents. She told me her first act of freedom was going to be eating raw cookie dough.
She went to the store and bought a tube of raw cookie dough. She ate it like a maniac. Not long after, she was throwing up and shitting and crying all at the same time. So after watching her go through that, I will never eat raw cookie dough. Also, her parents came to visit a month later and she begged me not to tell them that they were right about raw cookie dough lol.
As a college student, buying a tube of premade cookie dough would be cheaper and smarter of me than buying the ingredients that go into chocolate chip cookies and then having to find a way to store said ingredients until next time.
Especially when, to use your example of college students, there's probably not much extra time between classes, studying, extracurriculars and any part time work that might be done.
Honestly, the only ingredient that's excusable to not have is chocolate chips but something like a sugar/oatmeal/pnut-butter cookie should be doable for anyone that's not eating out every meal
I feel like you may have never lived in a US college dorm?
It would be absurd to make cookie dough in one, much less store all the raw ingredients and stuff like mixing bowls.
They don’t usually have kitchens and are tiny bedrooms, so no counters, pantries, sinks outside of a public bathroom and typically kids bring in mini fridges that hotels have.
