Dear Kid,
Some things are easy to remember about October. The leaves start to turn; ghosts, goblins, and ridiculous amounts of chocolate show up at the end of the month; and it’s Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. You remember Adopt a Shelter Dog month, right?
But did you know that it’s also National Cookie Month?
It is.
C is for Cookie!
I called Cookie Monster to get his perspective on National Cookie Month. Unfortunately, his fur was flat and he was feeling blue (see what I did there?) so he wouldn’t talk to me. I think it was because I hadn’t sent him cookies.
Poor Cookie.
There are lots and lots of different kinds of cookies. There are rolled cookies and bar cookies and baked cookies and fried cookies and pressed cookies and molded cookies and sandwich cookies and twice baked cookies and dog cookies (just wanted to see if you were still reading).
Puppy: Do NOT joke about dog cookies!
I tried to think about all the different ingredients that can go into cookies. Then I got a headache and decided to think about whether there were any ingredients that can’t go into cookies.
Well, duh.
Kale. Kale should never, ever, EVER be put into a cookie.
Bats. Bats do not go in cookies. Not even Halloween cookies.
So yes, there are ingredients that should never go into cookies.
But most ingredients can happily find their way into one form of cookie or another.
My favorite kind of cookie?
That’s easy.
The one that someone brings me so I don’t even have to get up. Preferably with a hot cup of coffee. Or tea. I’m flexible like that when cookies are involved.
