Lluís once attempted to make waffles but encountered difficulties. In a moment of frustration, he ended up with wrinkled, imperfect treats that he stacked on trays. Surprisingly, these unique cookies became a hit among his coworkers, who enjoyed them immensely. Inspired by their popularity, the manager had an idea: adding a thin layer of chocolate to enhance their appeal. This innovation led to a remarkable outcome. Today, these distinctive treats, known as Arrugats, account for a significant portion of the workshop's output, making up about 70% of their production.
