Yeah, better than Mrs Fields. But the ones prepackaged- altho decent- are a pale imitation.

Interesting guy - he actually sort of discovered Simon & Garfunkel before getting into the cookie business. As I recall, he was also involved in literacy advocacy. I wish there were more business people like him.

He hosted a syndicated program for adult illiterates that aired on PBS in the '80s.
