To dunk or not to dunk – Where are you with that?
Dunking or not dunking cookies seems to be a very divisive issue. Fight have broken out, family members no longer get together over the holidays. Shit’s serious, yo. Some of us are firmly on the “dunk all the cookies” camp, while others can’t even fathom the thought of their beloved cookies making contact with milk.

Me? I dig both. There are times when a cookie can be vastly improved by partially submerging it in a nice cold glass of milk. Nilla wafers for instance. Crunchy cookie, slightly softened by a 5 second milk dunk.

I will not, however – Dunk a soft baked cookie in milk. They get soggy. I don’t dig soggy mouth feels. So there you have it – My stance on dunking vs. not dunking my cookie situation.
Now flow with me – I’ve got some dunkable situations for you.

But first – Let’s address yet another divisive cookie issue. Oatmeal cookies and the raisins vs. chocolate chip cookie debacle. There are two camps:

  • Camp 1 – The “Raisins… Stay the f*** out of my cookies!” camp. This oatmeal cookie eater feels strongly about this and will not, if ever, allow raisins to make contact with their oatmeal cookie. This oatmeal cookie eater much prefers chocolate chips to stud their dough. I dig your style, boo.
  • Camp 2 – The “Raisins in all the cookies” camp. This oatmeal cookie eater gets it. Oatmeal cookies ought to have raisins. It’s what the damn cookie was named for and why change a good thing? Can the oatmeal raisin cookie lover live, yo?!
