Snookies

I recently heard Beyonce being interviewed on NPR with Terry Gross. I don't remember all that much about it but I do remember Beyonce talking fondly about how she had a lot of fun putting back on the weight she lost for her role in "Dreamgirls".

Since then I have been fantasizing about doing that like crazy. I can't wait to have some role where I play a refugee or a drug addict or something and get super gaunt and sad-looking, and then how fucking awesome it will be to put back on twenty pounds. And Snookies Cookies is how I'll do it, for sure.

Snookies are the best cookies I have ever eaten. If you try them, you will not argue with me. If you give them to someone as a present, they will love you forever. They are buttery and soft, and are just the right amount of crumbly, chewy and firm. We received a big basket of them when we won an Emmy last year, and I swear I was more excited about them than the bottles of Dom Perignon and Cristal we got (I drank enough Dom and Crist when Jay-Z and I had that thing summer of 2005).

Good for: New moms, dinner party gifts, celebrations, bake sales.
Price: $30-$60 (the best package, the one I got for my friend Lester and his wife when they had their first baby, is the milk & cookies combo, where they send you ice cold milk on ice and a big box of cookies)
