You had me at "three-ingredient"! You must have amazing willpower if you have a clear glass cookie jar in your house. I've never seen recipe like the date tahini one, and I'm excited to make it. I have lots of vegans and gluten-free folks around and they will love these cookies.

Mmmm, both of these sound so good, especially the date tahini—I do love a simple cookie with few ingredients! My favorites are probably the chocolate chip meringues my mother used to make. I’ve only tried to make them once, and they didn’t come out right—chewy, while hers were crispy and melty.

I have never heard of a chocolate chip meringue cookie. I'm intrigued!

I think I’d better try making them again. Perhaps I’ll have better luck this time. If they come out, I’ll be sure to share the recipe!

Cookies always remind me of after school snacks.

I’m absolutely sure you would’ve earned a “cooking” badge in GS if you’d continued after Brownies! I’ve loved cookies of all sorts too much and now keep trying to avoid them, but darn Aldi’s has a Good chocolate coconut one that’s a knock-off of the GS cookie… now I avoid Aldi’s too. ‘Always loved Walker’s Shortbread around Christmas time.

If my husband and your husband went out together they would be carting home a whole red wagon or two of cookies and that glass jar of yours would never be full again! I told him this after reading your story and he basically said something like, "if you love me you'd bake a double batch of both by lunchtime!" We're in negotiations on that one. Also, your clown is so beautiful but I'd be terrify to have him in my house!

PS: I’ve never heard of Coulrophobia and didn’t know it was a thing. My husband has told me he used to be terrified of clowns when he was a kid, and my son was too at one point. I guess it makes sense considering that kids often can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s fake, which I guess goes for some adults too these days!

I haven't made Snickerdoodles in years! Cinnamon, if I remember.

I love thin crispy cookies. If I was making cookies today it would be Alexis Stewart's thin crispy chocolate chip cookies with nuts.
