I’m all for using box mixes like this to make something easier if you wanna bake shit… but this seems a bit odd…

“It’s just so upsetting,” says Judith, whose cookie recipe was passed down by her mother. These “perfect little cookies” once made the rounds at bake sales, Christmas cookie exchanges, and birthdays. She now calls them “unusable.” She could buy an additional box to make up the difference, she acknowledges, “but out of principle, I just can’t.”

It was a box mix… does that really need passing down? It looks like she sub’d oil for butter and thats it. I’m sure the box suggests a little less butter now… so like, a little less oil? I can’t imagine the box mix cookies are just plain trash now either, unless they just are.

When you look at some of the cookie mixes today from them, its use the box, 1/3 cup of butter (or whatever it is, already forgotten the exact amount), and 2 eggs.

Their family recipe in the article was use the box, 2 eggs and a 1/3 cup of oil.

My point is, all she did was change butter for oil. She didn’t do anything special or fancy like your suggesting.

Clearly, the brainworms know they’re gonna be targeted by the tech in the future and need to stop it now.
