Home-made cookies for the first time

My youngest had a classmate visiting Friday afternoon and the pair of 15-year-olds decided to do some baking.
They had been talking in school and the friend seemed astounded that we make jam every spring and have fresh applesauce for dinner whenever I happen to have the time to peel a half-dozen Granny Smiths. So my youngest invited her home for a kitchen session.
During a discussion after the friend went home, my youngest told me that her friend had never eaten a home-made cookie in her life, and the two planned to make cookies Sunday afternoon.
Apparently the friend’s parents don’t cook. The dad barbecues in the summer occasionally, but the rest of the year they eat take-out, go out to restaurants or prepare something pre-packaged. The family, she said, didn’t even have flour in their home and her friend didn’t know what a ladle was.
I said idly that eating out all the time seemed awfully expensive to me.
“Oh, they’re rich,” my youngest said.
