Whether it was the molten lava of chocolate chip or the searing scorch of oatmeal raisin, one thing is certain: a very homey drug deal went terribly wrong:
Two students at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville are jailed on charges that they kidnapped, paddled and burned a young man with freshly baked cookies after a drug deal went bad.
...
Authorities say three men went to [suspect Rosario] James' house on Friday night to buy marijuana, but two of the men grabbed the drugs and fled, leaving the third behind. That's when the suspects allegedly held that man and tortured him to press him into finding money for the stolen drugs.
How freshly baked were these cookies? These gentlemen were in the midst of a drug deal, after all. If only the reporter would clarifiy whether the paddling was done with a pancake turner, it would go far in easing my mind over this troubling incident.

just saying...I mean, I only heard about stuff like that..

I can't help but laugh thinking about what the burn pattern scars will make him look like.
