Raise Your Glass of Milk..It’s Homemade Cookie Day!

No... I have no idea as to the origin of this day but do you really care? Do you havemilk
to have a reason to eat a cookie??  But hold on … don’t grab that bag of Oreos yet!  To qualify as a permissible, clearly allowed cookie that you can eat today.. it must be homemade!

*Really, is there any other kind?  With the exception of Oreos, every cookie I ate growing up was homemade.  
* One of the most memorable gifts I received my first Christmas in my apartment was a plate full of homemade cookies from a friend’s mother.

* You know and can control what goes into your homemade cookies... no preservatives!


    My absolute favorite cookie is a real homemade chocolate chip cookie, preferably from the Original Tollhouse Cookie recipe.

cookie recipeI prefer mine crispy, almost well done, not chewy or soft.  And, I honestly think you get a better, not-too-airy- cookie if you don’t use a mixer when adding the dry ingredients.  

I’d love to hear from you... What’s your favorite homemade cookie????


And for those who can never get enough chocolate chip cookies, here are about 300 different chocolate chip cookie recipes.

Cheryl- I love sugar cookies!  Haven't made them in years... may have to try a batch.

Raymond- I will still buy the oatmeal raisin cookies when I'm at the Fresh Market but I haven't made them in years. 

BarbaraT- are you talking about twice the amount of chips?  Now that's my kind of cookie.

Gary- we could all use a day like that.  Remember when neighbors used to do that for each other. 

Peggy- ok... oatmeal raisin +oatmeal chocolate chip..put the two together and you get the perfect cookie. 

Kristin- glad you like the reminders.  You know, I'd rather make my own because you know you haven't put preservatives and such in them.

Kathy- if it was your grandmother's then it's got to be great. 

Jared and Amanda- well-l-l-l- since it is a cookie holiday then I would say there's no limit. 

Dianne- I've not heard of a toffee cookie  but it sounds good. We used to have a cookie exchange around Christmas but it grew so much (we were making 12-15 dozen cookies each) that we switched it to an ornament exchange. 

Michelle- ok.... why 2 dozen every day?  we weant the story!

Joni- absolutely.  I've made the Neiman Marcus cookie before,  what about that?

I'm not sure I have a favorite homemade cookie...too many good ones out there!  There's one I make with white chocolate chips, candied ginger, and dried cranberries that's pretty yummy.

Yummy-nothing better than a cold glass of milk and oreos-even if they aren't homemade-wish I had a stove to bake on. Hope to have one some time next week!

Kathy...I am going to be honest...if I eat a homemade cookie it is because someone else made it for me. Eating is my strong suit...not baking or cooking...lol

I've found a few vegan cookies in health food stores that have hit the spot. I have to find the recipes if I'm going to participate in homemade cookie day!

Hi Kathy I had two girls, one husband, myself and one brother living in the house. You need one cookie for each hand plus some for friends. That's two dozen every other day. Mmmmmmm........cookies.

Sharon- I'd like to make that at Christmas (can you send me the recipe?)

Kristine- bake away and loved your pictures from your trip to see "the girls".

Liz- wish you could see the cake I made yesterday.  Yes, I make my own cake because I'm picky about my cakes. 

Joanna- I hear ya.  There are some things that the microwave just can't do. 

John(QMan)- I even like to hear the words "cookies and milk" .  

Jeffrey- oh how funny!  I love to make cookies as long as there isn't a rolling pin involved!

Patty- I don't think I've ever had a vegan cookie.  I know you can substitute apple sauce in some recipes. 

Peggy- I think if you beat them too much they get too much air in them.  Yes, I like mine crisp. 

Roy- it's the good ole recipe that's on the bag of Nestles chocolate chips. 

Michelle- You must have had a very popular house!!!!  I don't think mother's bake like that anymore.
