Look guys, as I think anyone who has read my posts recently will know, I''m not in the best of moods. And I love you all but I''m NOT going to submit to this much group-think, OK???? I will be having MY cookies at room temp, thank you very much. I don''t like warm chocolate chip cookies - I like biting into the cooled chocolate and a slightly crunchy cookie - not the gooey kind, and I dont'' feel I should have to justify that to anyone. And I might not even have any milk....

Karen...I just...I...I just don''t know who you are anymore!!!!

Et tu Moon?? Fine. I''m sick to death of all this chest-beating, in-your-face brand of warmcookieism. Is it only that narrow definition of cookie loving that is allowed these days?? I love my cookies as much as the next person, I just don''t like the blatant gooey-chip-waving variety. I don''t know why people can''t see that a dislike of massive displays of warm cookies does NOT automatically mean you harbor cookie-hating tendencies. How does the saying go? Warmcookism is the last refuge of bad bakers?? And so we see...

And If Obama doesn''t win this election I may move to somewhere where they have cookies AND decent PASTRY. Maybe France?

omg...i just peed my pants!!!

I''m glad someone finally brought up this issue because I didn''t want to open this can of worms... My issue has nothing to do with hot cookies, cold cookies or what color the chips are. What I want to know is why, during this entire elections season, nobody has once mentioned the lack of including brownies into the debate discussions. I mean really, marginalizing the brownie is just morally wrong. What could be MORE AMERICAN than the BROWNIE??? This nation is supposed to be a melting pot of all kinds of baked goods, not just cookies. We all know what color most cookies are, right? PEOPLE, WAKE UP! A crime against brownies is being perpetrated right before your noses and all you can see is COOKIES?!? Are you kidding me? Think about how the brownies in your neighborhoods will feel, knowing that their thoughts, feelings and desires aren''t even included in the national discourse. They have critical issues they''re dealing with, like whether or not to include walnuts and if so, should they be organic walnuts, imported walnuts or walnuts grown with pesticides and if they go with imported, how will that affect our fragile economy? And dont even get me started on the brownie vs. blondie debate because that will just get ugly very quickly.


Forget the cookies, they have way too much representation on the national stage. Every ad is cookie-this and cookie-that. Enough already with the cookies. I want to see where the brownie stacks up on the Obama/Biden platform. Too much is at stake to take a wait and see approach. We need to act now. Call your local congressional representative and tell them you want to see brownies put on the national debate docket. Next to cookies, not before or after them.


There, I''ve said my peace. I''m going now.


ETA: ksinger, I think it''s really out of line to even bring the issue of milk into this debate. I mean, this entire thread could disintegrate into an ugly color-issue of white vs. chocolate and that''s just such an ugly place to take this conversation, dont you think?

Well it''s not a melting pot anymore! The mixing bowl is overflowing! For all I care, the brownies can go back where they came from! Too many chefs spoil the broth, and too many desserts spoil this country! The brownies need to start being more like chocolate chip cookies! Maybe if they tried to blend in a little more and speak the language we would include them!

I came very close to making chocolate chip cookies myself. However, it was my Republican fiance''s birthday and he wanted snickerdoodles, so I made those instead. I think that Obama would be willing to expand his cookie policy and reach across the aisles to the Republican snickerdoodle lovers, don''t you?

 

[ksinger]

OOO!! I LOVE snickerdoodles! Screw chocolate chip cookies, I want snickerdoodles!!

(also room temp please....)

I heard a rumour that Obama spent $150k on cookies....

 

[trillionaire]

I heard he''s a total diva whack-job about these cookies. They say that he once greeted staff in only an apron and said he would get back to them later, after he was done with the cookies.

But the real question is, what cookies could invade his air space?? This is something we as a people have the right to know.
