What’s the significance of the date 11/7 (other than today’s date) in the third panel? Time passing to think about a rationalization to eat the cookies?
I guess I am the weird one of the bunch (or so my wife says). I let the cookies cool to room temperature before I eat them. Otherwise they make the cold milk warm when I dunk them.
Pretty hard to resist fresh baked cookies …. the biggest problem is that one leads to two ….. then three and so on ……. until your stuffed full with cookies …….. if they last that long …… :)
I am still mourning the loss of my peanut butter cookie recipe. I had it for many, many years and several people have asked for it. I had someone helping me bake one day, and that was the last day I saw the recipe. She didn’t take it, my guess is she put it “away” and I haven’t found it yet. I know where it belongs, and it’s not there. I hope I find it.
Any baker knows you shouldn’t try to eat a chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven. The chocolate is molten and dangerous to put in your mouth. Any cookies should be placed on cooling racks as they come from the oven.

How fattening ARE those chocolate chips?!

Each of those cookies apparently has 3500 calories which means they must taste insanely good.

When you finish them, Earl, be sure to put the plate in the sink.

How much does each cookie weigh?
He should be able to eat several cookies.

With warm cookies right out of the oven, the calories haven’t yet solidified. (—

There are no calories if you eat them standing up.

No living breathing person can turn down a chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven. It is not possible.

People claim that they love chocolate. If so, why isn’t molé sauce on biscuits a hot-selling item.
People love sugar. Chocolate is just an excuse. :)
