My Five Favorite Cookies

 This blog is strictly RPG related but for Christmas my girlfriend wanted me to write something on here where I ranked my favorite cookies. I don't know if I eat cookies often enough to have a strict ranking of my favorite types of cookies, but I know what my favorites are, so I'll do that. In no particular order, here are 5 of my favorite cookies.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter is good. Cookies are good too. When you combine them together they're okay but they're not the best because they can be very one note. Your peanut butter cookies must not be too big or they will be monotonous and they should probably have something else within them like chocolate or jam if you want to be cute. Still, peanut butter cookies are pretty good. They're on the list. 

Molasses Cookies

Sort of an unusual one but I like molasses cookies as a soft chewy cookie, the flavor is usually a little more complex than a snickerdoodle in my opinion, and they're just a nice color too. I don't eat these very often, but I could see myself actively seeking out such a cookie, which means they're on the list. Congratulations to Molasses Cookies

Crinkle Cookies

Dude, I love crinkle cookies. Red velvet especially, yes, yes, I know it's usually just chocolate with food coloring, and no, no, I do not care. I like the red. Plus, this cookie is a perfect example of how we eat with our eyes, the presentation of the chocolate cracking out from underneath the powdered sugar is lovely. You can also make ube crinkle cookies, which I have done, and which are bright purple, but I honestly don't know if I prefer them over the chocolate variant. Ube is sort of a low key flavor, and I like it a lot, but whenever I've made ube crinkle cookies, it comes out tasting like cookie with none of the ube.

Macaron

Something about this inclusion feels like cheating but the thing you have to know about me is that I prefer a fruit flavor over a chocolate flavor like 9 times out of 10. A cookie that delivers on that, well that's perfect! Macarons are just so diverse that they can meet a lot of your different cookie needs in delightful ways. They're a bit bougier than the other inclusions on the list but I don't really care, I like them, so they stay.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

For years you monsters have made me ashamed to admit this but this is my number one cookie and there isn't a goddamn thing you can do about it. I love oatmeal raisin cookies. Every time someone whines about biting into one of these heavenly confections whilst thinking it's chocolate chip I laugh. There is scorn in my voice as I laugh. Nothing you can do, or say, will ever make me wander from the light of the oatmeal raisin cookie. Your chocolate chips are NOTHING to me, NOTHING. You are weaker than I am, if you turn your nose up at this cookie, and I pity you for that, pity your rejection of anything fruit based in your desserts. You are a lost soul too afraid to see the light, the worldly paradise that awaits you if you just eat the goddamn raisins and like it. NBD though more cookies for me.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
