Yuuri was out doing the shopping today and Viktor wanted to give him a surprise. He wanted to do this because shopping was boring and who didn't want a surprise.
He had decided against his better judgment to try baking some cookies. Viktor has tried baking things like this before and failed but he wasn't going to let this stop him.
He looked online for a decent recipe and found one rather easily. He noted how many more people put recipes for cookies and sweets than other foods.
He put all of the ingredients into the bowl and stirred it up well. He made sure it of it being mixed thoroughly.
While the sheet of cookies was baking Yuuri arrived home.
"Are you cooking something?" Yuuri asked as he smelt something that smelled interesting.
"Yes, Yuuri I made you cookies. But you came home earlier than I expected and they are still cooking." Viktor explained.
"Thank you! I am sure that they will be good." Yuuri said nervously as he had heard about how awful the sweets that Viktor makes turn out from Yuri.
He knew the teen might lie but he doubted it.
He placed the items he had bought in their proper places and then sat at the table where Viktor had asked for him to sit.
"Here is the cookie, my love." Viktor presented the cookie which looked okayish but something was wrong.
Yuuri took a bite then dropped the cookie as that was not what he was expecting at all. It wasn't sweet, more of a saltiness that didn't happen in cookies.
"What did put in this Viktor?" Yuuri asked out of fear.
"What do you mean, it is a chocolate chip cookie without chocolate chips as we didn't have any?" Viktor pouted at Yuuri.
"Try it Viktor."
"Of course."
Viktor tried a bite of the cookie and stepped back.
"That isn't right. But I followed the instructions mostly . . . Flour salt butter baking soda sugar and so on mixed in a bowl."
"Viktor which had a larger amount sugar or salt?"
"I used more salt we didn't have all that much sugar so I switched them."
"Viktor, baking is about following the directions exactly. But it is okay we all mess up with cooking. I will get sugar tomorrow but please never do this again. " Yuuri laughed a bit as he spoke.
