​Sunny yellow optimism cookies, or gloomy blue-gray pessimism cookies . . . if only all decisions in life were so easy to make! Six of each, please.
 
Elvis: What kind of cookies do birds like?
Priscilla: Chocolate-chirp cookies.
 
“In the cookie of life, friends are the sweet chocolate chips.” -Author Unknown
 
The American word ‘cookie’ comes from the Dutch word ‘koekjes,’ which came from the Dutch word ‘koek’ meaning ‘cake.’ ‘Cookie’ was introduced into the English language in the early eighteenth century. It is thought the term caught on in early America because of the evident Dutch presence. The British call cookies ‘small cakes,’ ‘sea biscuits,’ or ‘tea cakes.’
 
Victoria: Why was the little cookie sad?
Flora: Because its mom had been a wafer so long.
 
Tough cookie, noun: 1. Someone with just the right mixture of sweetness and strength. 2. Someone who does not crumble under pressure.
 
Making Cookies
 
I am making cookie dough
     Round and round the beaters go
Add some flour from a cup
     Stir and stir the batter up
Roll them, cut them nice and neat
     Put them on a cookie sheet
Bake them, count them - one, two, three
     Serve them to my friends for tea*.
 
by Author Unknown
*’Tea’ is this instance refers not merely to the beverage, but to ‘teatime,’ the time traditionally set aside each day in many places for partaking in tea and sometimes edibles such as cookies.
 
“I just figured if I was going to make the world a better place, I’d do it with cookies.” -Ana Pascal: “Stranger than Fiction” (10 November 2006); type of work: movie
 
Cookies baked in a muffin tray will not spread out and stick together, and may be fluffier.

​Let us all return to a kinder, gentler, simpler time . . . a time of milk and cookies!
 
Overheard: I went to dunk my cookie in a glass of milk . . . and I fell right in! Good thing the cookie fell in with me . . . crunch, crunch . . . glug, glug . . . mmm-mmm, yummy!
 
George: What kind of snack do little monkeys like with milk?
Geoffrey: Chocolate-chimp cookies.
 
Making Cookies
 
Stir the dough and roll it flat
     Then cut cookies just like that
Into the oven, watch them go
     They must bake a while, you know
When they’re brown and nicely done
     We’ll have cookies for everyone!

Penny: Why did the cookie go to the doctor?
Penelope: Because it was feeling crumby.
 
Cookie: A method for converting sugar, flour, and butter into body fat.

Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe for Engineers and Scientists
 
Ingredients

□ 532.35 cm3 gluten
□ 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
□ 4.9 cm3 refined halite
□ 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
□ 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
□ 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
□ 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
□ Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein units
□ 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
□ 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)
 
Directions

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two, and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous.

To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piecemeal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston’s first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium before serving.

​Image shown above is from “A Field Guide to Animal Crackers” by David Hugh Beaumont (born 1966)
 
Animal Crackers are cookies that were imported to the United States of America from England in the late 1800’s. Barnum’s Circus-like boxes were designed with a string handle so that they could be hung on Christmas trees.

Animal Crackers
 
Animal crackers, and cocoa to drink,
     That is the finest of suppers, I think;
When I’m grown up and can have what I please
     I think I shall always insist upon these.
 
What do you choose when you’re offered a treat?
     When Mother says, “What would you like best to eat?”
Is it waffles and syrup, or cinnamon toast?
     It’s cocoa and animals that I love most!
 
The kitchen’s the cosiest place that I know:
     The kettle is singing, the stove is aglow,
And there in the twilight, how jolly to see
     The cocoa and animals waiting for me.
 
by Christopher Morley (Christopher Darlington Morley (1890 - 1957)): “Chimneysmoke” (1921)

National Animal Crackers Day is observed on 18 April of each year.
 
If the folks at ‘Make Fun Of Life!’ made the “Sesame Street” television show . . .
Scene: Bert and Ernie are seeing Oscar the Grouch for the first time, as Mr. Grouch suddenly pops up out of a garbage can, and Bert points at him.
Bert: Hey, Ernie, is that a cookie over there?
Ernie: Gee, I don’t know, Bert. Let’s dunk it in a glass of milk and find out!
Just then, Cookie Monster appears and says: Cookie?!
Oscar the Grouch makes a surprised shriek and disappears back into the garbage can. Bert, Ernie, and Cookie Monster all laugh.
Cut to next scene: The actual producers of “Sesame Street” are shown taking out a restraining order against the folks at ‘Make Fun Of Life!’

This is MFOL! . . . the search for funny continues . . . along with milk and cookies . . .
