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!
