My Favorite Things About Cookies
I could sing the praises of cookies all day long. There are so many cool things about them. Here are some of my favorite things:
- Cookies are Convenient: They’re super easy to make and store. They can be quickly baked and enjoyed as a delicious treat. You can “grab and go” with a cookie (unlike, say, a slice of pie).
- Cookies are Versatile: These little darlings come in various shapes, flavors, and textures, and provide a wide range of options to suit different tastes. From classic chocolate chip cookies to oatmeal raisin to my Perfect Peanut Butter cookies, there’s truly a cookie for everyone.
- Cookies offer Reasonable Portion Control: They’re typically small and individually sized, making it easier to control portion sizes compared to other desserts. This can be helpful for those who want to enjoy a sweet treat without overindulging.
- Cookies are Easy to Share and Gift: It’s no wonder cookies are such a popular choice for sharing and gifting. Whether it’s a plate of cookies at a holiday gathering or a homemade gift for a friend, cookies can spread joy and bring people together.
- Cookies offer Homemade Goodness: When you bake cookies at home, it allows you to customize the ingredients, which ensures a fresher and healthier treat. You can choose your ingredients wisely.
- Cookies offer Feelings of Nostalgia and Tradition: If you’re like most folks, you have fond memories associated with cookies. These sweet treats can remind us of childhood baking sessions with family members or stir up warm feelings of comfort and familiarity.
