"Nothing can stop the Rise of the Raisin." 🤣

I've been living under the rule of Chocarius my entire life. But if there's one cookie to crown as the next ruler of my tastebuds, it's the sweet & slightly spicy Queen Snickerdoodle 👸🏼

A Queen! That’s an additional angle I hadn’t considered. Snickerdoodles are a bit rarer to see I feel like, I would be content to join forces. I brought oatmeal raisins to both my gatherings this weekend, the fight is in progress!

Hands down one of the funniest essays I've read in a while. Going to recommend it in my Substack next week! :)

So nuts or no nuts in the oatmeal raisin? I prefer without, but my mom makes what she calls Davids because they are her brother’s favorite. They are oatmeal raisin with chopped nuts.

Any piece that contains the phrase "oatmealy thighs" is ok by me.
