Cookie of the Day: Beautiful Butterscotch

Wars have been fought over religion, freedom and ownership.  But, each year, a little battle is waged to see who gets to eat the last of these gorgeous cookies.  Cakey butterscotch cookies, flecked with nuts are topped with the creamiest, most delicate of butterscotch frostings—adorned with colored sugar.  To say that these cookies “melt in your mouth” is not giving them enough credit.  They’re splendid, utterly splendid.  This is what angels must taste like (if one were to chew on an angel—don’t think too much about it).  I look forward to these cookies every year, and while I’m a quiet, passive man, I’ll fight anyone who tries to take one from me.
