It's time to vote.

Don't worry, in this election, there are no bad choices, no unscrupulous politicians and no political scandals.  You're voting for your favorite cookie!  I want to know kind of cookies is your favorite.  Do you prefer thin and crispy cookies with a buttery crunch?  Do you like soft, chewy cookies like snickerdoodles?  Do you like your cookies loaded with nuts and fruit like oatmeal raisin?  Do you choose cookies based on the amount of chocolate that they contain?

I want to hear from you.  Send me a comment and tell me the name of your favorite cookie. Just to get your cookie juices flowing, I'll give you a list of cookie ideas.

​I baked cookies for a local bakery for a while and by far the most popular cookie that we sold was oatmeal raisin.  I couldn't believe that more people would chose a cookie with raisins over a cookie with chocolate!  (I guess you know my favorite cookie now.)  

Don't get me wrong, I also love a good oatmeal raisin cookie.  I've blogged a couple of oatmeal cookies already.

​Bake 16 minutes at 350.  Cool on wire racks.
​Now it's your turn to vote.  And as a special note to my family: voting does not increase the odds that your favorite cookie will appear in our kitchen this weekend.
