You'd never write that ugly one-liner. Just write the recipe imperatively:

    dough = mix(flour, water, sugar, butter)
    dough.knead()
    dough = dough.add(eggs)
    cookies = dough.divide(12)
    cookies = bake(temp=450, minutes=12)

Might be more verbose, but definitely readable.

Meh, it is really annoying to define all those brarely-used variables (and pray you don't have more than one kind of "dough" in your program... Otherwise you begin to have cookie_dough/CookieDough/cookie-dough/cookieDough and friends everywhere, and refactors begin to become annoying fast)
