WORD OF THE DAY

Cookie

Thanks again to my wife for a very tasty word. Cookie, its a great snack when you are hungry, a good pick me up. My favorite type of cookie has to be thin mints. See I don't believe mallomars are cookies or are they. They are really gram crackers chocolate and marshmallow. Anyhow I love to eat cookies, especially with ice cream. MMMM Cookies. Anyway take a look at what webster has to say about the word.
