I do a lot of baking. I once baked some cookies for my friends and the first thing one of my friends said after eating one was that they "weren't the best". I was kind of shocked that someone who is eating free cookies that I spent a few hours making would say that out loud and just said "uhh, okay". Then he got all defensive and was like "w-well what do you expect? they're not warm out of the oven or from my own homemade recipe so of course they're not the best. Maybe if they were warm out of the oven they would be up there."

I'd rather my friends be honest with me so I could improve my culinary skills, but your friends reasoning just indicates to me that I would not be giving them free cookies next time.

No one thinks like that, he was backtracking

My cookies are actually very good. I do not need to improve them.

It's because they weren't fresh out the oven.

positive compliment

Is there such a thing as a negative compliment?

And honestly, you asked him for his feedback and got it. There's no guarantee that people will have a positive opinion of everything you do. And just because you tried doesn't mean something will be good.

Back handed compliments are negative

A backhanded compliment maybe?

You spent a couple of hours making cookies that weren't even homemade. Tell me at least it was from a tub and not the break away squares and you don't have limbs.

I think he meant from his family's own recipe.

I had an ex-girlfriend who would make a batch of cookie batter, but only cook a few cookies at a time and then store the rest in the fridge, so that her cookies were always oven fresh.

I gotta make some cookies. I screw up cooking/baking all the time, but I made a big load of double chocolate chip cookies a few years ago, and brought them to work. A bunch of chefs told me they were the best cookies they'd ever had!

I'm basically dtf with all cookies as long as the bottom isn't burnt or hard af.

Sounds like a douche. Oven fresh cookies aren't even better. You gotta let them cool for at least a good half hour otherwise they're still soft and mushy/gooey.

Not the best can still be good though. If he said they sucked then I'd understand.
