I Cannot Tell a Lie... These Cookies are Amazing! 🍒🇺🇸

Happy President's Day, bakers! This week on Cookie Lab, we’re celebrating with a treat that would make George Washington proud: Cherry Pie Cookies. Jill has masterfully combined the flaky, fruity goodness of a cherry pie into a portable, buttery cookie form.

But this episode isn't just about the fruit; it’s about the truth! Join us as we explore:

The Myth of the Cherry Tree: We dive into the history of the most famous horticultural lie in American history. We look at Parson Weems, the man who invented the "I cannot tell a lie" story, and discuss why this myth has stuck around for over 200 years.
The Science of the Snitch: We get into the science of lying. What actually happens in our brains when we choose to deceive? And why lying actually takes more "brain power" than telling the truth.
The Dough Deception: To put the science to the test, we stage a high-stakes challenge: Can Jill lie about her dough? Can she trick Chris, or will her "tell" give her away?

Will Jill's cookies be a presidential success, or will the truth come out during the taste test? Tune in for the history, the science, and the most honest cookie review you've ever heard!
