Do I have to choose a favorite cookie? Yikes! That is hard. I like soooo many. Perhaps it is homemade Pecan Chewies.
Gosh…I like any yummy cookie, from warm and chewy to cool and crispy, from decadent and fudgy to tangy and lemony!!! I enjoy such a wide variety of my sweet tooth’s palate. It’s hard to tell ya just one. I could tell you that I greatly enjoy my mom’s round chocolate cookies with a warm, fudge-covered cherry in the center, or that I have a liking for crisp yet chewy oatmeal cookies with sweet, tangy raisins, or that I just LOVE red velvet cookies with cream cheese dollops on ‘em, but I want to be “out there.” I’m going to tell you that I really, really, really love GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. Thin Mints. Caramel DeLites. Thanks-A-Lot cookies. Shortbread cookies. Girl Scout cookies are the bomb.
