For *cookies* (sorry, a biscuit is not a cookie) you want to get Sainsburys "American Style" Double Chocolate Chocolate Chunk cookies. They are sooooo good, so moist, so tender, so gushingly overwhelmingly CHOCOLATE that they actually succeed in making me homesick.

REAL chocolate. They are, after all, Sainsburys imitation American, not real American. They are obscene. Have I made your mouth water enough to run out to the nearest Sainsburys and buy a packet? Oh god, it's the one kind of chocolate that Paul forgot while shopping...
All very definately biscuits though

Biscuits, yes. But I just wanted to share.
Anyone tried those mini-jaffa cakes? Talk about CRAP. Rubbery, chewy and altogether NOT jaffa cakey. Huh. Unimpressed.com

I tried it once, and it was quite good but the amount of time it takes to make a batch is kind of a pain. There are other cookies that are just as good that take half the time to prepare.

I haven't made cookies in ages, I'm a terrible cook at anything except curry. Except, wait! I made Scooby Snacks last month! (From the "official" Hanna Barbara recipe... which seems to leave out the most important ingredient, methinks?)

An American biscuit (closer to what the British would call a scone) is nothing like a British biscuit.
A British biscuit is *similar* to an American cookie (like the US English Muffin is vaguely similar to the UK Crumpet) but they are not the same thing.
British Biscuit: sweet, hard, crunchy, small, dry and absorbant, suitable for dipping into hot caffeinated beverages. Perfect example: Chocolate Digestive.
American Cookie: slightly sweeter, and tends to be larger, softer, and moist enough to be eaten by itself without causing choking. Perfect example: Chewey Chips Ahoy.
Now can we go back to talking about pubs, the weather and the tube?

However, on a happier note, I would like to report that this morning, Sainsburys had AMERICAN STYLE MINT DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES on sale. Oh. My. God. Deep chocolate cookie, with bits of mint in it. I have died and gone to cookie heaven.

I swear to god, I don't even eat unless I'm on my period. Get on it, and I eat ENTIRE BAGS OF COOKIES IN ONE SITTING. It's like how the Incredible Hulk turns into the Incredible Hulk when he's mad, I turn into cookie monster.

Most Popular Cookies: 1) White Chocolate 2) Double Chocolate Chip 3) Milk Chocolate
Inside information from Sainburys: They will be selling Orange and Chocolate Cookies very soon. I've tried one and they're pretty good! People don't appear to like the mint cookie because they are green.

--
Last week I went to the Event Order meeting that happens twice a week at the hotel where I work. Usually its very boring; event managers and department heads going over the next three-four days worth of events and functions, confirming guarantees and making last minute changes. However, upon walking in last Friday, there were FOURTEEN PLATES OF FRESH BAKED COOKIES on the conference table. The Executive Chef had arrived early and placed them there. Each plate was a different flavor/variety of cookie and was labeled accordingly. In front of each chair was a "ballot" where you were to rate each cookie on a scale of 1-5. Apparently, they were all being considered and the Chef wanted some feedback. The cookies were cut up into smaller, bite-sized pieces, but after 14 of them, I was sick of cookies.
The cappuchino ones were the best.

My VP was a 6'4" ex-marine, ex-pro-football-player, tough-guy Italian from Jersy who just wanted to make sure everbody had enough cookies.
Nobody brings us cookies any more.
― Coach Dave (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 20:02 (eighteen years ago)
I remember a summer I spent in Berkeley, and how great it was that there was a 24 hour cookies and milk delivery service. It was a long time ago, but I can still remember how fantastic those cookies were at three in the morning, with that icy cold milk.
Yum.
