Combine with butter. Put in the bottom of a ramekin. Pour cheesecake batter on top. Bake.

if you are maximum poor stop buying cookies, making them yourself is much cheaper and you can even make custom cookies and less of that dangerous dust, and you can flavor milk with that dust far less likely to choke on that, and even works with soy milk

Tp4 has never considered baking cookies.  Have baked a cake a few times.

Looking into it.

Are you guys sure it's cheaper ?, energy cost seems quite high.

People who cook always say it's cheaper and that is never ever that case. Never not in one scenario is prepping a dish at home cheaper than buying it prepared. Better tasting, maybe. Cheaper, never. idk why people say that it's really annoying

i wouldn't say it's cheaper. noisy is right. problem with home baking is that you'll buy all the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies, and you'll be stuck with all these leftover ingredients after you make one batch, so you either have to get more ingredients to make something else, or keep making chocolate chip cookies until you can't eat another chocolate chip cookie. i always overeat after baking at home because you'll be stuck with a large batch. instead, if you're tryna be cheap about it, just get premade cookie dough or premade brownie mix and go from there. it'll be 100x better than a pre packaged cookie though. to me home cooking is worthwhile but baking is another story, since you're just making an excessive amount of treats for yourself if you're not sharing with anyone.

I don't think that is much of a problem for baking cookies, specifically. Recipes don't tend to have exotic ingredients that you couldn't use for anything else. Unlike bread that might require a bag of rye flour.
The dry ingredients last practically forever, and there are lots of uses for them and for butter and eggs.

Thanks for making me not feel crazy. I've made pot roast a couple times recently, and it worked out to roughly $10 per plate each time. One local restaurant makes a pretty good pot roast for $12, and it comes with two sides and free rolls. I guess it's probably more expensive after the tip, but I don't have to do dishes afterwards.

Maybe if I bought meat from a wholesaler, I could make it more cheaply. (P.S., why is it "wholesaler" and not "wholeseller"?)

i guess it depends where you live, here a bought pizza is 12euros, if i make it myself it is 3 to 4 euros + 1 euro of electricity, electricity and ingredients are fairly cheap here, although pizzas are a bad example as the home made one will never be as good, and truth be told i never calculated the energy for cookies to be honest but i am at 3 to 7 euros per kg in ingredients vs 15 euros per kg of store bought cookies. bread is an other story the flour in itself is more expensive than the bread you buy at the store here.

What cut of meat are you buying? The concept of pot roast is to slow cook a cheap cut to make it tender. Look for something like chuck roast on sale and you can probably get multiple servings for $10.

I think angus chuck roast is what I got. I typically cook 5 pounds at a time, and it was about $5.97/lb. So $29.85 plus the cost of carrots ($2), potatoes ($3.50), onions ($3), beef broth ($5)... Hmm, maybe I was wrong. It seems to work out to ~$7 per serving (that doesn't count left over veggies or the minute cost of washing dishes and running the crock pot). Maybe it seems more expensive because I share it with others, ha.

Rye flour is only used in Rye bread,I made some excellent no knead bread last week using just regular flour,yeast,salt,and apple cider.
