What, me or NON? If you're talking about me, it's less about Murron's cookies and more about NON's sh*tty attitude.

Murron sent me some of her cookies after I got married and they were divine. Yes, they are expensive but they aren't the normal run of the mill cookies either. After eating any cookie from the regular store, you want more. You want to grab a handful and devour the entire box. After eating one of Murrons cookies, you are satisfied. Its a huge freaking cookie that tastes like heaven is in your mouth and you want to make it last. Her cookies are worth the extra money you pay for them.

I like murron also Im not bashing her or anyone really. I just think her cookies are alittle pricey which OTHER PEOPLE ON THIS THREAD HAVE ALREADY SAID. And sooz the only reason I brought up the weight thing was in response to Malrothien's feeble attempts at insults and werent really meant for anyone else since they werent addressed to anyone else other than those who were insulting me for adding my opinion to the same opinion that has already been stated here several times. If you havent noticed yet, certain people always like to single out other certain people for ridicule even if what they are saying is the same thing other people have already stated. If anyone can understand that Im sure its you.

There are several reasons why I willingly buy these cookies.

1- they are insanely delicious. If you've never had one, you can't even imagine. They are nothing like store-bought cookies. I can make homemade cookies with the best of them (snickerdoodles are my favorite things to make) but I don't always want to bake and I don't always have the time.

2- they are FRESH. You're not buying something that might have sat on the shelf for months, loaded with preservatives to keep them "fresh". It's more like buying from a bakery that doesn't use preservatives, so they make everything fresh each day. "Day old" bread is sold at a discount. These cookies are like that, although the shelf life is longer- but it's a matter of weeks, not months or even more than a year. More like the shelf life of cookies you'd make yourself.

3- they are quality. Again, you're getting good basic ingredients. Flour, eggs, sugar. Not high fructose corn syrup and a dozen ingredients you can't even pronounce.

4- they are HUGE. Imagine a CD or a DVD. That's how big around they are. And they're a good half inch thick or thicker, depending on the cookie.

5- they are made by someone I like, someone I trust, and someone I'm willing to support. She's not a huge faceless factory paying her workers minimum wage with no health benefits and crappy working conditions. I'm paying a bit more, just as I would when I buy fresh local fruits and vegetables at the farmer's market, but there are real benefits to that, in my opinion, and I'm willing to pay more for it.

6- just because it's cheaper doesn't mean it's a better item or a better value. Wal-Mart is the perfect example of this, with cheap filler foods and cheap filler goods and shady business practices. Are you honestly going to argue that it's better to buy cookies from Wal-Mart than murron, just because they're cheaper? I'm not knocking people who shop there, if that's truly all they can afford, but I'm in a good enough position that I am willing to pay for local/organic/quality foods/goods whenever feasible, and I don't mind at all splurging every once in a while on these cookies. If I was eating one a day yeah that'd be excessive, but I doubt anyone is doing that!

We got our box a week ago. I gave 5 of the 18 cookies to my dad so he could enjoy them. Hubby and I ate a cookie a day.


We are such fatties.





I don't think you get it. I only respond to you in Murron's threads because you repeatedly go out of your way to point out your opinion on her cookies. It's just getting very old - we get it. You don't tip, you don't like to spend money.

Also, I enjoy how you immediately resort to calling me a lard ass when I have never actually posted a picture of myself here on ACF.

Really? Not bashing anyone? You pretty much said anyone who buys them is a stupid fat lardass. You didn't just say "I would never pay that much for a cookie" or "those cookies are waaaay too overpriced" but went out of your way to insult anyone who buys them and/or eats them.

"this thread makes me weep for the Earth's future"

"es it is a good thing Ill never be able to pass on my jeans. Since all you fatties eating the overpriced cookies wouldnt be able to grease your fat rolls into them." (and the op spelled genes correctly, you just had to try to be funny)

"Its a free country and if people are stupid enough to pay it them let them. A fool and his money are soon parted and all that."
