Best. Cookies. Ever.

[reveal]

Buy a tube of chocolate chip cookie dough and make larger than normal cookies. Make sure it's an even number.

While that's baking, mix the following together:

3/4 stick unsalted butter (6T), softened (let sit on the counter for an hour or so)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 jar (7.5oz) Marshmallow Fluff
2t vanilla extract

When cookies are done, let them cool until you can handle them. Then put the filling between 2 cookies. Put these in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set up.

Eat indulgently!

You can make the filling ahead of time, just put it in the fridge after you mix everything together. Then microwave for about 20 seconds to be able to spread it between the cookies.

I used to work at The Great American Cookie Company. We called the cookies you are making "Double Doozies" although the flling in the middle was more frosting and less marshmallow. They were tasty, until you dropped unconscious from the sugar coma.

Hmmm. . . with the marshmallow, your recipe sounds similar to Moon Pies. Mmm. . . Moon Pies.

There must be a typo there? Do I read "Parents magazine" or "Criminal magazine"? Okay, one offensive post: do you know that the US is the first country on Earth for obese people?

This thread is not about who's fat and who's not, whose country is skinnier or any of that stuff. This is a thread about a delicious cookie recipe. Period.

Oh, and like we don't know that having Thomas Jefferson bring back pomme frites to the U.S. was a plot to make us all overweight, so we'd be easy pickings for France later.

But I'm afraid you read wrong. We're phat, not fat, yo.

My family has been enjoying some delicious pumpkin cookies that came out very strangely due to ingredient substitution - they're more like biscuits. (For any Brits out there, biscuits (American definition) are fluffier, like rolls, almost.) Maybe I'll post the recipe later today.

Oh yes, we hear about it constantly. Everywhere you look in this country, there's advertisements telling you that you're too fat, dammit! Which is often the case. Although this leads to a lot of anorexia, bulemia, etc..

The reason for our common obesity is largely that we're a country where food is CHEAP AS HELL and available EVERYWHERE YOU GO. Plus the majority of us are lazy, arrogant bastards. Mix, bake for a few years, and you've got yourself an obseity epidemic.

Here's a fantastic recipe for you:

The following scroll was looted off of a dead orc in the Suss Forest by the elven ranger
T’Fal. The scroll was found in a bag containing halfling parts and cookie crumbs.

Chocolate Chip Cookies of the Gods

Ingredients:
1 cup cold butter (two sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 cups chocolate chips (three 6-oz. bags)

Directions: Beat the butter into the sugars until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and
beat until just mixed. Add the flour and baking soda and beat until well blended.
Now add the chocolate chips and stir them in with a spoon. Make cookie balls
with a spoon or your fingers. The balls should be about as large around as a gold
piece and you should get three-dozen of these.

Now the hard part: put these balls on a tray, cover them with foil and put them
in the chillbox overnight. Chilling them makes them taste so much better. If you
cannot wait, do not expect cookies of the gods. Try not to eat all of the dough
before morning.

To bake the cookie balls, place a dozen on a cookie tray and let it sit for 10 minutes
at room temperature, while the oven preheats to 400 degrees. Bake them
8–10 minutes, or until the edges are brown but the center is still tan. Take them
out of the oven and let them finish cooking on the pan for a few minutes.

The cookies sound finger-licking good, but am I the only person who thought the title a tad ... interesting ... for Parents magazine?

If you have to say this, or even think it as you're writing, you shouldn't post it. There's no reason to hijack this thread, especially with insulting stereotypes.
