JCC The Biscuit Thread

yeah, I usually have half of it, then I keep living my day burning calories and then I end up eating the second half few hours later to reward myself for staring at a computer.

 

That sounds absolutely divine. I need to try that with smashed up Coffee Crisp.

 

There is nothing wrong with chocolate in a biscuit.

I have just been to tesco for milk for the all important morning brew before work (MBBW) and I typically have a couple of slices of toast for a standard day but when I know the week is going to be hectic as we've just launched an new process or similar I know I'll need a morning sugar rush to help manage the inevitable rush of emails from people unable to follow process notes or JUST READ A FRICKIN SCREEN.

Tomorrow is one of those days.

I have just discovered our biscuit cupboard is bare.

I am not happy right now

 

I am, thankfully, not quite that stupid.

 

Ok this joke is more multilayered than the cookies I love, and I love it. But also, ew.

ON TOPIC.

I love cookies.
I have a sweet tooth in general, but I can always resist other sweet things.
I cannot resist cookies, they are my bane of existence and I will forever be eating cookies.
I will be eating cookies even if someone told me they calculated that I will lose 5 years of life because of eating cookies.
I would rather live 80 years on this planet having cookies and a ****ton of salt on my food, than live 85 years and not have sugar and salt.
Cookies are life, cookies are purpose, cookies are goals and aspirations, cookies are what Mando should say "this is the way" about.
I love cookies.

A very quick ranking of cookies which changes every day or even every hour because cookies are life.

1. Chocolate Mint - Best combo ever
2. Chocolate Chip - Classic is sometimes best
3. Snickerdoodles - Cinnamon is what I'll name my first daughter
4. Chocolate Orange - Second best combo ever
5. Butter Pecans - Not everything has to have chocolate
6. Chocolate Fudge and/or Brownies - But most cookies need to have chocolate
7. Butter Milk - All cookie lives matter*
8. Stroopwafels - I don't love caramel, but those are great
9. Coconut Butter - For when you need something alternative
10. Custard Cream - The non chocolate classic option

* Macaron lives do not matter. Macarons suck. Sorry France. Your food is amazing, your desserts even better, but your cookies suck.

Most pointless game ever. I spent 1 hour a day.

 

Cookies contain a lot of fat.

 

Cookies are not biscuits, they are cookies and as much as I like brownies, you can't bring a pseudo cake to a biscuit discussion! I may have alluded to Jaffa Cakes earlier in the thread but they are not biscuits and their are brownies.

Also mint is minging as are nuts and coconut

 

We are down to our last biscuit. A measly regular digestive biscuit, all alone at the bottom of the biscuit jar.

In the immortal words of Captain Blackadder: "This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'."

 

I love cookies, but I can't keep them in the apartment or I'll just gorge on them. It's a horrifying fate I've sealed myself to, but I have to stay semi-healthy and hope there are cookies/biscuits when I visit the parents.

 

And we aren’t even halfway down.

 

Oreos are Oreos, but that description is correct, if somewhat clunky.

 

I remember when I showed you the tim tam slam. Those were the days.

 

I wouldn't dunk any sandwich biscuits, or indeed chocolate covered biscuits, in tea. Only plain ones (digestives, rich tea, ginger snaps...).
