Everyday when my wife packs up a lunch for me she includes 4-6 cookies for my morning snack.
My current favorite is Archway Iced Molasses Cookies, but I do rotate between a few different ones, so I don’t get burnt out on them. As a matter of fact this week we are having Oreo’s…
One of my all-time favorite morning snack cookies was Sunshine Co.’s Lemon Coolers. A few years ago they stopped showing up on the grocery store shelves, I figured it was just where I was shopping, but pretty soon it dawned on me you couldn’t get them anywhere. What happened was Sunshine Bakery was bought out by Keebler and those rat-bastard little elves in their hollow tree stopped making ’em.
While getting the links for yesterday’s Girl Scout cookie post, I noticed that one of the bakeries made something called a Lemon Cooler. Hot Dang! I started to formulate a plan to drive around to shopping centers this weekend and cornering the market on Lemon Cooler Girl Scout cookies. Of the four boxes Donna ordered, none were the coolers. As luck would have it though, the woman we bought our four from had a box that someone ordered but didn’t want. We didn’t have the $3.50 on us, but promised to gladly pay her Tuesday for a box today.
I ripped open the box and popped one of the half-moon shaped cookies into my mouth. Mmmm…wait a minute, they’re close, but not the same. Something was missing. I looked at the box and realized what it was, the fat. Right there on the front it says “Reduced Fat.”
Oh, well, on the bright side, I just saved a bunch of money.
