JCC The Biscuit Thread

I'm a classic Toll House cookie person. A warm chocolate chip cookie dunked in cold milk...

 

Our fave! ^

 

In all honesty, I'm giving President's Choice "The Decadent" from Loblaws as my absolute fave. I've adored those since I was a kid.

 

BISCUITS

 

Nuclear take: I think PC Oreo cookies (Eat The Middle First) are better than actual Oreo cookies.

 

Being utterly unfamiliar with the terminology at play here, may I ask where honey ginger snaps fall on this spectrum?

 

Ginger Snaps are tops, must be dipped.

I cannot speak on the honey ginger snap.

 

@dp4m @Point Given
I don't think I have ever asked you about it. Have you ever heard about a bakery called Levain, (should be in 117th/Douglass)? They make these delicious cookies with chocolate and nuts, very nutrient, such that after you eat one you're already full for the afternoon. If you stumble there, you should give it a try.

 

So, I've lived near the original and been partaking of it for... about 26 years (since they've been open). Starting with my mom, until I started getting it myself. I won over @mavjade 's housemates and family with boxes of the cookies.

EDIT: We had to find just the right GIF because the above was basically my reaction reading it... and then Mav's reaction making her read it...
EDIT2: We should also add that we find it sweet (for real!) that you wanted to make sure we were getting tasty treats.

 

When I gave the first bite I was more like

 

Used to love my biscuits and other sweet treats back in the UK. With the general horribleness of most biscuits here in Aus, my enthusiasm has waned somewhat; though I did stretch to dark chocolate tim tams when pushed.

Then a few months back, something weird happened. I stopped eating them entirely and have never gone back. I no longer have a sweet-craving and don't feel the need for any chocolate either. I never made the conscious decision to give them all up, it just happened. Considering my horrendous bowel issues over the years (sorry for sharing), I can honestly say this has been a very positive move. I no longer lie on the bed or the floor in the foetal position nursing a stomach that feels like it's trying to rip its way out of my body. Considering what we've all gone through over the last year or so, I'll take every positive I can get.

 

I miss darthtenbiscuits.

Also this seems appropriate here:

 

Look guys you really need to know your biscuits.

A Scottish friend of mine ended up in hospital , apparently someone had told him that dunking your ginger nuts in hot tea was a great idea.

yeah.

So - you know , be careful.

 

What a horrifying story. It sent a shiver right down the vanilla timtams I’m feeding Punk.

 

Yeah, that's about right. And I agree with you -- Chocolate Chip Walnut is the bee's knees, but all four (CCW, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, and even Oatmeal Raisin) are really good...

For everyone else, this is actual size:

 

@dp4m
I think that my favorite is the chocolate peanut butter chip.

 

I love it, but it's so rich -- I really need to be in the mood and not eating anything for the next 12 hours.
