Cookies To Die For : )

Last week my sweet & thoughtful stitching friend Edgar did a post about cookies.  Just seeing the word "cookies" in the title sparked my interest.  I do love a good cookie   : )   Edgar posted about 2 cookies in particular. You need to know up front that before he started describing these cookies he said "I am not really a fan of cookies."  For someone who is not a fan of cookies to post about cookies, you just know it's going to be an interesting read   : )   One of the cookies, a dark chocolate yummy from Keebler, did indeed look good & I was sure I could find here.  The other cookie I have never seen for sale or even advertised here or any other place where I've ever lived or visited ... & we all know I've been around   : )   This second cookie really intrigued me ... a cookie by Mother's Cookies called Taffy.  Edgar indicated that these have always been his all time favorite store bought cookie.  As I read the description I became more & more excited, especially when I read  "What's so great about Taffys is that they are coconut flavored cookies with a slightly sweet vanilla cream filling!!"  Vanilla cream?  Coconut flavored?  All time favorite store bought cookie?  As I sat here drooling uncontrollably I commented about how luscious they did indeed look.  Next thing you know, Edgar tells me he is going to send me a package to try ... & he did!  They arrived yesterday!  Please excuse the less than stellar photograph.  My hands were shaking as I held the camera because I couldn't wait to rip into the package to try one   : )  

Here is a photo from Edgar's post of 2 of the cookies on a lovely woven napkin.  I don't think he'd mind me posting it here   : )

These cookies are indeed wonderful!  No, they are beyond wonderful!  Not at all what you'd expect from a store bought cookie! Although I am a big fan of cookies, I am not really a fan of store bought cookies.  I have, of course, tried many store bought cookies over the years & I do buy them every now & then but they are always "hooch cookies."  I know the word "hooch" is usually applied to liquor ... cheap inferior liquor to be exact ... but somewhere along the line I started using the word "hooch" for anything cheap or inferior.  "Cheap hooch cookies" for example, or "cheap hooch yarn" or "cheap hooch shoes."  You get the idea.  But there is absolutely nothing cheap or hooch-like about these cookies!  They are very rich & absolutely delicious!

Thank you for the cookies, Edgar, for your thoughtfulness, & for adding yet another addiction to my life   : )
