Since there are millions of cookies baking around the world this time of year, here are 13 well and lesser known facts about cookies:
1. C is for Cookie debuted in 1971.
2. Chocolate chip cookies = love. Don't take my word for it, read the lyrics to the song.
3. They're always better raw.
4. Cookie-cutter cookies are like playdough for grownups
5. The Cookies were an all-girl R&B group in the 50's and 60's.
6. Who Took The Cookie From The Cookie Jar? has probably led more camp bus drivers to drink than any other song.
7. There seem to be a lot of lesson plans posted online that utilize cookies.
8. There are no calories in broken cookies - they've all leaked out.
9. Cookies given out as free samples have no calories either.
10. Cookies glommed at holiday parties because they're the easiest thing to eat while standing up definitely do have calories.
11. 7 Layer Cookies are the world's richest cookies, hands down.
12. A search for "cookie cookbooks" on Amazon turned up 473 different ones.
13. Even with all that, the very best ones are still chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven.

I have to agree with you on points 8 and 9! I would *love* to know what a 7-layer cookie is!!
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookies are the best!
ReplyDeleteYummyyyyy, cookies!!! Interesting facts. I need cookies now. :-)

I will just say that my cookies turned out horrible this year. I envy anyone who can cut and deocrate a cookie.
ReplyDeleteI added the recipe for you Lis :). Mine is on an old hand-written recipe card, but this one I found looks pretty close.
ReplyDeleteChocolate Chips cookies are my favorite too. If I had to choose a last meal....it would be included. : )

ReplyDeleteMy mouth is drooling now, thank.you.very.much! :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate Chip cookies are my favorite!
I love cookie recipes and collecting holiday cookie magazines. That way I never bake 'em - a disaster in itself!

Everyone seems to like choc chip best. I must be an outsider with having oatmeal as my fave.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so happy to learn about the no calorie ones. From now on I'm only eating broken cookies! :)
ReplyDeleteCrap. My snowboarding pants don't snap and now all I want to do is mix up some cookie dough and not bake it.
ReplyDeleteThink I'd burn off enough calories if I mix the dough by hand?
Now you've gone and gotten me craving some peanut butter cookies, LOL!
ReplyDeleteNow i have that Cookie Monster song in my head!! Maybe I should go grab a cookie as well.
ReplyDeleteOatmeal cashew is my favorite cookie. Thanks for all the info. (hope your dryer thing works out)
ReplyDeletePoints 8 and 9 are what I have to remember come visiting parents and friends. Great list!

I love this post! And yes, Chocolate chip cookies are most definitely better raw!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't burn your house down!
Happy tt!
Great list. I remove calories and fat from the cookies I give away. Chocolate chip are indeed the best--no fuss, no strange colors, no weird shapes.
ReplyDeleteWriting in Faith
Homemade with butter! That will be this weekend's project and so true about the 7 layer bars. I am good at eating the "crumbs" so the plate of bars always looks neat.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm I love cookies (as I post with a bag of Chips Ahoy staring me in the face). I love fresh baked ones too. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI do love cookies. I never make them - or rarely - because of all the standing in the kitchen time. Right now, in Denver, the kitchen tile is really cold - probably not such an issue in Tel Aviv! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT! Sorry about the dryer.
My TT is up A little kindness
#3 ABSOLUTELY. Please explain this to my husband. He disagrees. He is, of course, wrong.
ReplyDelete#8 and #9 are very useful bits of information to have. :-)
And yes, warm soft chocolate chips are by far, the best. Pardon me while I drool.
Just what I needed to read ... with the diet I'm on and everything. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!!

ReplyDeleteAline
You are so right on "Who Took the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?"!! And, probably a few camp counselors, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TT!
i love raw cookie dough. so yummy! the cookie song made me laugh. as a child, my friends and i would play that game whenever we'd be bored.
ReplyDeleteAnd just today I was thinking I need to make cookies for a party next week.
ReplyDeleteRaw is always best. I can never get my family to understand that. I don't want to touch cookies once they're baked.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" that drove bus drivers to drink. :-)
Nice TT!
Lori
Doesn't standing while you eat the cookies negate the calories? Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteYes, those 7 layer Cookies are the most delicious and sinfully rich cookies I've ever made. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteChristine@ AreWeThereYetMom
I like #s 8 & 9 :-)
ReplyDeleteCookies are one of the very few things that I do very well. It is a major curse to my waist though.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the dryer is easy to fix.
Yep, choc chip has my vote!!! And I love raw cookie dough, nothing better...
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, chocolate chip, my fave. But fresh-baked cookies are the best, no matter what kind!
