Chocolate chip, but using m&m’s. Boring, but then again, so am I!

I just made a batch of 3 ingredient cookies. The 3 ingredients are Oat meal, Bananas, & Chocolate Chips. I also frosted a couple of them with peanut butter just to .see how that would taste. They are cooling right now. I'll let you know how they taste. What is your favorite cookie?? For me, it is Oatmeal and Raisn. My favorite COOKIE ? ? Boy, we ARE getting personal. Slow Sunday afternoon, I guess. (Next thing you know they'll be asking about ..... yeah -- THAT.) Since you ask: Like a golden retriever, I am faithful for life. For me, there is no other cookie but the glorious, All-American Chocolate Chip Cookie. I remember pulling 'em out of the big, clown face kitchen jar when I was no taller than daddy's belt. (I knew how to climb on up a chair and reach.) So I have always been. True, I once had a two-year love-affair/fling with Oreos. But I was a young and stupid college freshman, and every dime counted. However with maturity came taste and appreciation. Since then I never wavered. We CCLovers cast a wide tent, crossing the globe as we do, and will accept strays in our club. Young, frollicking experimentation with M&Ms or even a chopped-nut sprinkle is acceptable, even commendable for those who must live wildly and recklessly. But for die-hard true blue CC fans, Hersey's chips are the only ones. Growing up, my older cousins would tell wild tales of the Dark-versus-Sweet chocolate chip street gang fights they saw in 1950s South Side Chicago. Such silly yarns are not to be swallowed. Nevertheless, there were hard feelings as friendships and marriages shattered between the Darks and the Sweets in those pioneer days. Today all is tranquil. Think Protestant vs. Catholic, circa 1600 compared to today. Enlightened as we now are, we Darks pity more than we scorn. On a personal note, don't be duped. We're talking from-scratch, fresh-baked at home, warm out of the oven stuff here, fella. None of your store-bought dreck. Keeblers is as honest as companies generally can be, I suppose. But in any decent, tasteful society, their executives would have long since been dragged from their offices to be humanely shot. Some cultures pretend to be horrified at such noble justice. The ignorant need trash-class cookies too, one might claim. But we CC lovers are hopeful the Arc of Progress DOES exist; believing even the lowly tasteless might be led toward heaven -- even if they may never truly acquire it. Should one give cookies as a gift? Complicated question. Unless you are a verified from-scratch CC artist, any such gift is a risk. CC faithful are in the know -- and quickly tell the faux from the the true. One might also ask if a gift of perfect CC cookies is actually a cruelty. A paradox: Would you ever give a friend a taste of true paradise -- to just snatch it away in a day? True bliss for the Chocolate Chipists lies not just with cookie-in-the-hand, but also in the confidence there awaits a steady stream of MORE cookies ahead -- available indefinitely whenever reached for. Such a divine, rare spouse who provides for that kind heaven is worthier than rubies or I-Bonds. For the rest of us, there's Walmart's Great Value brand of bake-at-home cookie dough. $3.19 for 24 cookies. It's your consolation. Be grateful.

Over my pantry door is a plaque my sister gave me:
"Time, Tide, and the last chocolate chip cookie wait for no man"
On the investing side: I've read several times the last few days... chocolate is getting very expensive, maybe time to buy!

Seems we all agree here that oatmeal and chocolate make good cookies. The best cookie I ever had was bought at a Whole Foods Market in S CA. It was and oatmeal raisin with nuts, thin and crisp. Only sweetened with apple juice rather than cane sugar. I've tried making them, guessing the ingredients, and some knowledge of kitchen chemistry, but never quite duplicated it.

One of the best cookies I've ever had was baked at a local grocery store chain. It's a massive chocolate chip cookie featuring an abundance of molten Belgian chocolate, toasted walnuts, and sea salt. metropolitan-market.com/blog/the-cookie/

richardsok, there are many good “store-bought” cookies. Let me start with the shortbread cookies that are available at Costco during the holidays. FANTASTIC! Then there is David’s brand of pecan shortbread cookie. WONDERFUL. On a regular basis I buy raspberry and blueberry flavored fig bars at Costco as well. Those are my golf course snack. They sell an awesome almond biscotti too. In the end, there are no bad cookies in my book. However, home made persimmon with raisins and black walnuts, I have personally harvested, are my favorite.

Our family had a persimmon tree in our back yard when I was growing up in VA. They were about 1" in diameter and needed the first frost of autumn to ripen well. When they became wrinkly it was time to eat them. I think they would be hard to make cookies with them because they usually had about 8 rather large seeds. When I moved to CA in the 70's I saw my first large Asian persimmon in the grocery store and thought I must have died and gone to heaven, but when I bit into it I was rather disappointed.

I was invested in NIB awhile back but it closed and paid out. I haven't been able to find another cocoa ETF or ETN but at this point I don't know if its still worth the risk of getting in.

Apparently, the supply of Cacao is being disrupted by climate change which is shifting some growing seasons. Apparently, this has the greatest impact on crops which are products of trees such as Grapes, Coffee, Citrus Fruits, Apples, Etc. The ETF, DBA, does track the prices of agriculture products. If one believes that Climate change has an effect on the production of Food, then DBA or PDBA could be long term hold. The daily and weekly charts indicate that the price of DBA has already begun a moon shot. I have no projection for how far it will go.

DBA issues one, but PDBA doesn't. Other non-K-1 commodity funds are HARD, PDBC, COMB, SDCI. Some of them had really ugly price drops around the beginning of December. Also there's good ol' GGN, which I own and like (gold & energy). The petro patch is moving too; producers, pipelines, the whole suite. Bought a bit of OILK last week and some SHEL this morning.

There are 2 types. The cooking variety (hatchiya) is larger and rounder with a pointed end. It must get very soft to eat or cook with. The eating variety (fuyu) is flatter and eats like an apple. There is a variety that grows wild in the east. We have them here in Tennessee. They are small and as you described from Virginia. They can be used for cooking but take many more to make a batch. In central Kalifornia, from which I hail, many people have these persimmon trees, out in the countryside Generally you can drive thru the countryside in the fall and see them being sold or letting them drop on the ground.
