I am toxic
. . . even in small doses
Bandy, I noticed my 21 pack of oatmeal coco chip has gone up from $7.50 to $8.00 at nofrills, no doubt reflecting increasing demand for the cookie of choice. I now realize that by successfully championing the ultimate in cookie cuisine, I have sabotaged my own pocketbook.I went over to a friend's place a few days ago for a movie night. He'd made cookies, and although he hadn't made them for the occasion I probably ate 6 or 7. They were oatmeal raisin, and they were amazing. They had pecan chunks for a bit of crunch, although I didn't even notice the flavor of them. The cookies tasted buttery, but when I remarked on this he told me he used -- get this -- coconut oil.
You wouldn't have liked these cookies, or at least would have been too determined not to eat them to find out, but I'm telling you about them anyway because I know you'd want me to be happy.
From now on, I will denigrate the perfect cookie, and instead pretend to espouse your erroneous views on that abomination of circular snacks, the oatmeal raisin mockery.
