Like Danielle, I am torn between the Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies nd the Oatmeal, Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies.
(My favorite NAME category is the “Oat to Joy” name, but the cookies themselves still place behind the above two cookies for my list of MUST HAVES!).
I am torn between the Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies and the Oatmeal, Cranberry, and White Chocolate Cookies.

All of them sound so good. But I am an easy going gal and traditional chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. I guess it makes sense…I’m a vanilla ice cream gal as well. Ummmm, those would be really good right now.
This is a hard choice to make but I’m thinking the Sugar and Spice may be my pick…at least tonight it is. They all sound so good.
Hugs,
Joanne
