Can certain cookies be addicting?

I've always enjoyed cookies, much more so than cake, or pie or other sweets. But recently I bought a package of the yellow Oreo thins. Maybe they have changed the recipe for the filling, but I can't seem to stop eating this things. I suspect that Nabisco is putting something illegal into the filling to make them so good. Maybe I should contact the DEA, or maybe I should go out right now and buy another package. Good thing that these are the "thins" which have so many fewer calories than the regular Oreos. Maybe I just have too much time on my hands!
 
I'm addicted to my home made Nestles TOLLHOUSE Cookies and I ALWAYS add extra chocolate chips and extra pecans. I have to limit my baking of them to the Christmas season or I would GORGE on them ALL the time.

Chocolate chip cookies are my heroin with sugar cookies like crack cocaine. Oreos can stay on the grocery store shelf as far as I’m concerned. :wink:
 
I learned that my own chocolate no-bake oatmeal cookies can take control of my life if I don't work hard to control myself. Don.
 
I like the soft and chewy oatmeal raisin & walnut cookies I bake and I keep telling myself that they are healthy and that gets me off the hook for eating so many. :D
 
Pretty much any cookie is addicting. I'd recommend staying away from Oreo Red Velvet cookies. They seem to disappear rapidly for some reason. Taking them apart and stacking up the fillings to make a quadruple stuffed Oreo is heaven for a store bought cookie.
 
Chocolate chip with walnuts, or oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are sinfully good, as are white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.

Those Girl Scout "Samoa" cookies have to be filled with heroin...
 
I'm not sure if my cookies are addicting or not. Two kids, a husband, a brother, two nieces and a nephew... not to mention Dad and three employees the survival time of my cookies is roughly 20 seconds out of the oven. On rare occasion I even get one.

i found them. during checkout, the young man reamarked "they look good"
i told him i had just heard about them today. i got them out of the bag, opened and told him to grab a few. he only got one and we placed one in our mouths about same time.
the first crunch was so so, THEN the burst of sweet lemon brought us smiles.
As I tried to close and put them back in the bag, he reach and got him a hand full
 
I'm just glad the Girl Scouts only make cookies once a year and for a short time. Thin Mints are my down fall. They go straight into the freezer.

Another thing I can tell you is don't buy McDonalds Chocolate chip cookies. They are just as addictive.

Cookies are ok but pie especially pecan pie is my weakness. ps

ADD CHERRY pie and you got me on BOTH.
I do love my Dump Cake I make for the East Coast Gathering at Ty's place in October (I think the recipe is in the Ruger Forum Cookbook.)

Perhaps we need a Thin Mints support group. :D

Who's bringing the cookies???


Two boxes go in the freezer immediately. (four boxes get devoured) Then about July one sleeve comes out and a cold glass of milk. The remainder disappear the same way when I get the urge or happen to see them grabbing venison.
