My cookie addiction

I gotta tell you I have a cookie addiction. After hours of scorching the web (I don’t know where my camera is) I finally found a picture of the German version of these babies. These make me get up at night: a double cookie with cocoa in the middle.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m positively delighted when I finally have my stomach empty again so I can go eat another one. I prefer taking them with cold milk, or liquid yogurt, but unaccompanied they also taste just fine.

I take so much pleasure eating them that I try to prolong the flavor. I’ll chew on them like a mouse, slowly (but with fast opening/closing of the jaws) progressing through the cookie, passing the phase at which it resembles a crescent moon, all the way to total incorporation. Aaah, and then maybe I’ll repeat the dosage and eat the second one… but no more than that, these things must be extremely caloric and allowing myself to relax on eating them will surely result in an anesthetic belly. Besides, I need to shape up so I can run the half-marathon come march.

Are you secretly J’onn J’onzz?

I get them here too - they’re called “Hit” by Bahlsen. I agree that they’re addictive - they’re crunchy and creamy, and not sickly sweet. Yum.

When it comes to plain ol’ supermarket cookies, Europeans know their stuff. 'Specially Germans.

We were in Germany last June, and stopped at a discount supermarket for some “dinner picnic” supplies (were were bilious from eating big restaurant dinners and needed something simpler). For under a dollar, I bought a package of chocolate/orange cookies which I remember to this day as being some of the best cookies I ever ate.

The market was “Penney Markt”. If any of you German Dopers would mail me a carton of these cookies, I’ll send you back a cowboy hat or a set of Mickey Mouse ears.
