Does anyone here remember Picadilly cookies? They were sandwich cookies made with marshmallow, coconut and jelly ... now discontinued (Rippin Good Cookie Co.).
My grandmother always had these when I was little. I'd love a recipe so I can make them.

Um. Hi. My name is Dawn. [Hi, Dawn!] And I'm addicted to cookies.
I already said my piece up-thread. The t-shirt. The CRISP chocolate chip cookies. The Melting Moments (shortbread) that I make. But. Um. I forgot something. My holiday indulgence. They call it a cookie but, really, it's not a cookie. Not because there's no (discernible) flour in it but because "cookie" is a misnomer. "OMG-THIS-IS-THE-BEST-THING-EVER!!!" is a much better name for it.
YESSSS!!!!! I love those! My mom never made them (we're from Naples) but my husband's aunt used to make them (he's Sicilian on his dad's side). I couldn't get enough of them! Agreed, they are very labor intensive. I'm trying up my game--I may have to give these a try!
There's a Sicilian bakery about 20 miles north of here -- they have great holiday cookies so I think I'll make a pilgrimage up there in early December. Because I'm too lazy to make them myself.

Yes, absolutely! They were great cookies - we used to get them in the 1950s-1960s - sorry to hear they were discontinued.

Mmm, oatmeal walnut -- or better yet, oatmeal-walnut-dried-berry.
I had oatmeal walnut cranberry from the Amish market and that's when I added the walnuts to the oatmeal apple cookies in my head.

Keebler--choc chip coconut. I try to avoid any w/ hydrogenated oils (trans fats) so I look careful at labels.
Pepperidge Farm is Macadamia Milk Chocolate Chip, those big crisp ones. BUT if you're near a Target or an H-Mart, get some banana Milanos. Yes, banana.

Nope, there's a recipe and when you see it, you'll know it really is just cookies - well, there's a billion recipes, but they cook like cookies so they're cookies to me. How did I leave these off my list? Thanks for the reminder. I think.

Last year, my son fixed the neighbors car. She said she'd bake some cookies for him. She didn't.
Ha! It's a good club if you're in it.
She didn't bake them? Or, um, he didn't see them because you got to them first? The latter is how I'm interpreting the

Absolutely. Call them whatever you want. Call a pizza cookies and I'm good with that too!
Got to say Chick-Fil-a's chocolate chip cookie are so good, but if I had to choose a favorite it would have to be a soft sugar cookie.
