A little disclaimer before we jump right in. I know sugar is bad for you. I am constantly trying to cut its stronghold over me. It’s harmful on my teeth, skin, the list goes on. Howevvvver… it really is magnificent. It gives me that temporary happiness that few things can touch. So my goal is moderation. I try to cut  back on sugar most of the time, but for those “other” times here is my master list of sweet treat delights. There is a healthy version at the end of each group. This week the A is for Adelaide 52Week Challenge prompt was 100 Food. Sweets are food, right? Just magical food. In Groups of 10.
Just like you’re with Willy Wonka. And go!
Cookies
I started here because if forced at gunpoint I think these would be my sweet of choice. It was my first word after all.
1) The No-Bake. My mom’s chocolate oatmeal is the best, although there are other delicious varieties. Summertime memories of watching them sit on wax paper, eagerly waiting for them to harden up. So easy and so good.
2) The Chocolate Chip. Enough said.
3)Â White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut. The Hubs favorite. It was also my cookie of choice back when I would frequent Subway (those days are gone).
4)Â Oatmeal Raisin. The healthy alternative before healthy alternatives.
5) The Sugar Cookie. What holiday season would be complete without them?
6)Â Chocolate Crinkle. Every Christmas my oldest friend/cookie-conspirator and I make these cookies (but with mint).
7) The Snickerdoodle. That same friend’s favorite from childhood. I always think of her because when I was 12 I couldn’t fathom anything other than chocolate chip. She would choose the Snickerdoodle.
8) The Pignoli. Another friend and I make cookies yearly. I don’t know if it’s because she married an Italian or she just knows the way to my heart, but we always make these. I find myself craving these guys and their almondy flavor year round.
9) The Double Chocolate Chip. The other cookie of choice at Subway ( I was there a lot lol). What could be more right than chocolate doubled?
10) Healthy 3 Ingredient Cookie. I have a friend who would strongly suggest these are not cookies lol, but at least the are super easy to make and can trick your brain that they are cookies. Kind of….
