Have you ever had a craving that you tried to satisfy but it turned out to be disastrous? Today I had a sudden craving for a cookie, a snickerdoodle, more specifically. So I went to the store and saw that Pepperidge Farm made “soft baked” snickerdoodles. Sounds enticing already. I didn’t think it would be so bad. After all, their Milano cookies are pretty good.
I was SO wrong. The cookie was so terrible, I was pretty disappointed. I composed an angry, unsatisfied tweet, and thought I was better off buying chips ahoy cookies instead! But even amidst my sad failure, I found myself amused by their package, “New recipe! Softer texture.”
So note to self, and others looking for a decent snickerdoodle, don’t let the descriptions deceive you. Instead don’t ever buy store brand cookies unless they are your novelty cookies, like Oreos or Chips Ahoy.
But I must say, Platine in Culver City makes fantabulous cookies of all kinds. They are my favorite cookie place so far. 
These are the lessons I learn the hard way.
Thank you for letting me have my cookie rant.

P.S.
Don’t try the vegan oatmeal raisin cookies either, even though they look very tasty.
