They are a food group. As for my fave cookies...Pumpkin cookies with browned butter icing. So good. Nice and soft, but be careful with the icing a little goes a long way. And I always need to make sure the dogs stay out of the kitchen while cooling, because I have lost several batches due to puppy tummies. And I will basically eat any cookie, soft, crunchy...bring it on! Exception nuts and fruit. Bleh Ah cookies…I agree with the store bought complaints, with one exception Oreos. They are a food group.

I deeply suspect wheat intolerance is to this decade what cocaine was to the 80's: it's a problem, but most people just do it for show. Still, there's nothing wrong with carbon-neutral kitchens, although if someone tries to slip me some carob, I'm going to kill them. Gemdiva, you are clearly a right-thinking individual. Lilly, loved your blog. I also love spritz and make thousands of almond spritz during Advent. Not to brag, but a Norwegian made me give the recipe to his pastry chef wife (who, incidentally went to HS with Sarah Palin).

Nutella (hazelnut spread) on digestive or rich tea biscuits/cookies. Chewy can be good if the cookie is very big and has such things as ginger, brown sugar, wholemeal flour, apricots and general "dusky" flavours, but in my head they're "cakes" or nearer to a flapjack type (golden syrup + oats = nom) thing rather than a biscuit. These are crunchy and divine: http://nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/previous.php3?item=125 Also, I prefer "snappy" shortbread rather than crumbly, which is *always* cheaper than the so called luxury crumbly shortbread!

To be completely honest I've never met a cookie I didn't like however I do have some delicate suggestions on how a cookie that I must consume should be. 1. NO RAISINS!! They are what evil tastes like, frankly that goes for just about any dried wrinkly bits of things that use to be plump, ripe, juicy bits of delicious fruit. 2. BUTTER! You know we are in a recession and what everyone has against the dairy farmers of America I do not know but geez people use butter. 3. Now I am not particular one way or the other on gooey vs. crispy. I love the soft fudgy brownie cookie sort of thing and I love a buttery shortbread. It's all good in my hood. I do enjoy the cinnamon sugar cookies from Mrs. Fields as well as the cashew crunch cookies from Trader Joes. As I have "matured" I find I am not as much into chocolate as I used to be so a spicy oatmeal or a buttery sugar cookie suits me just fine.

I am too ashamed to discuss the number of Oreos that I will eat if a carton should be opened in my vicinity, but I do have a strict policy under which I do not buy them. However, my perspective on good cookies - the homemade kind - is diametrically opposite Plumcake's. Ideally they should be somewhat raw in the middle. This applies to brownies (without which I could not go on), chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies (to a slightly reduced degree), snickerdoodles, peanut butter cookies, really all the good standard fare. I accept frosting and sprinkles only under duress and do not put them on my own cookies, and I do not bake cookies with nuts. I do on occasion make FANCY cookies (pfeffernuesse and ginger snaps, for example), but I prefer that even those be soft. Oh yes. I also make truffles (which are famous among all who have consumed them). Truffles are perhaps the omega point of the axiom that a good cookie should be soft in the middle.
