Question Of The Day, Friday, November 30

[Winchester]

Good morning! And Happy Friday!

A Public Service Announcement: Christmas is only 25 days away!

That means, for me, that it's time to bake some cookies. Cookies are important in our house; Dear Richard is a cookie monster and he lives for cookies. I can pretty much ask him to do anything; if there's a cookie at the end of it, he'll do it. He's also the only person I know who will judge a cookbook solely by the cookie recipes found inside.

Rick and my niece want snickerdoodles (of course!). Rick also wants chocolate chip. Our son has asked for chocolate crinkles and some spritz cookies. The grands want something with peanut butter AND chocolate; that means I'll be making peanut butter-chocolate chunkers. Our DIL will be happy with those, too, although hers will have to be gluten-free. Rick's mother has requested either brownie cookies or white chip and macadamia cookies. Me? I want sand tarts! And sugar cookies! And I'm starting to bake on Saturday.

So.....what kind of cookie do you like? A special Christmas cookie? An any-old-time cookie? Rolled cookies or drop cookies? Bars? What's your cookie passion?

I will eat any cookie.
This is why I'm fat.

Right now I'm into ginger snaps. But I like most cookies. One of the greatest inventions of man.

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

Yum, cookies, who doesn't like cookies?!

My faves are anything with both chocolate and pecans.

 

[LTS3]

Cookie Have cookie, will eat I think the only cookie I don't particularly like is gingerbread.

 

[jcat]

Chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies (with or without coconut), and brownies. I like gingerbread if it's soft.

I usually only like homemade cookies and then only drop cookies. If they're hard and crunchy, they have no appeal to me.

I’m weird I’m not a cookie person. But come Christmas I buy a tin of Royal Dansk butter cookies. I hide the tin under my bed so I don’t have to share with my children. They are my guilty pleasure.

I'm with Rick and your niece on the snickerdoodles. I also like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, homemade and fresh from the oven.

Sugar Cookies!


And homemade almond chocolate dip cookies

But come Christmas I buy a tin of Royal Dansk butter cookies.

Adding that to my list of disliked cookies. I hate Royal Dansk and the knockoffs When I was growing up, we would be dragged to elderly relatives' homes to visit (most were home bound) and we would get an opened dusty Royal Dansk tin of stale cookies to eat We had to eat the cookies to be polite.

I like bokkenpootjes cookies (almond meringue with butter cream and dark chocolate)

I can see why you don’t like them.

 

[betsygee]

I don't bake much but if someone else does the work, I will eat them. Unless they have raisins in them.

 

[muffy]

I like most cookies except snickerdoodles, and ginger bread. Or anything with coconut or peanuts. My favorite cookies are Toll House cookies.

 

[bodester413]

Lately I've been into peanut butter cookies. I like oatmeal cookies too...with raisins......M and M's are good in oat meal cookies too.

 

[DreamerRose]

I used to make a special Christmas cookie. It is a shortbread butter cookie that I put through the cookie press into small Christmas tree shapes. After they cooled, I dipped them in white chocolate and sprinkled them with multi-colored nonpareils. They are to die for. Real tooth-chompers.

I also liked to bake Toffee Bars and Berry Bars. I created the recipe for Berry Bars myself.

It's all past tense now because I don't have anyone to bake for, and I'm a diabetic.

 

[Lari]

My opinion:


Except if it has coconut. I love meringues the most, but snickerdoodles are divine and sugar cookies and white chocolate chip. Mmmm.

This is why I can't lose weight.
