I used to buy those cookies at Valentines, Easter, Christmas, etc.... with rabbits, pumpkins, snowmen, whatevers, imbedded... that you sliced off as much as you needed. They were in the tubes. Then I could cook maybe six at a time in my ancient toaster oven. How ever much I wanted to slice off. But....
now they are only available on little trays already sliced, at double the price, for half the amount. So although I didn't mind splurging once in a while, this... I call gouging, ergo, I would rather go without.
So I rarely bake cookies anymore. As I would eat them out of the bowl, off the cookie sheet.... arghhh! Plus I almost never buy them (never say never!!!!)
