Simple Pleasure: Milk & Cookies

September 24, 2009 By Lorraine

The Urban Dictionary defines “milk and cookies” as:

the best medicine to be found in the kitchen

… and I have to agree. My mother-in-law is 82 and looks incredibly good for her age. Seriously, she looks at least twenty years younger (I’d post a photo here if she wasn’t so shy). One of her secrets? Milk and cookies for dinner.

Now, this might not seem like the healthiest of choices- but really, how can you go wrong? The milk gives you calcium and Vitamin D, the cookies give you chocolate (chock-full o’ antioxidants). And the combination of a chilled glass of creamy milk and some chocolate cookies gives you comfort- and a lot of pleasure. It is, after all, what you traditionally leave for Santa on Christmas Eve.

You can, of course, simply open a bag of Oreos, which are classic. But if you’d like to kick up your experience a notch, here are some of our recipes for cookies that go awesomely with milk:

  • Nigella’s Intense Chocolate Cookies
  • Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Nanaimo Bars
  • No-bake Chocolate Mint Cookies
  • Libby’s Iced Pumpkin Cookies
