Don’t you just love that someone decided there shall be a National Cookie Day, and that day should happen in December when it’s pretty much OK to eat whatever you want.
What’s even more fun is that some cookie shops and food chains are offering free cookies today, like Mrs. Fields . . . Great American Cookies . . . Penn Station . . . Schlotzky’s . . . and if you walk into the lobby of a DoubleTree Hotel today, you can have at one of their free cookies typically reserved for guests.
What type of cookie you tend to lean towards may say a lot about the flavor of your personality, according to psychologists.
