Reading the documentation carefully you might have noticed that I'm an
enthusiast of cookies. If you like to get an easy conscience about
letting me sit all this time at the keyboard, send some of your
favourite cookies to this address:
Bodo Wenzel
Saarbrückener Straße 210
D-38116 Braunschweig
Germany.
It doesn't have to be self-made ones, some specimen from your local
shop will be OK, too. If you know a special recipe, please send it; I
could try it myself.
Don't worry about my taste (for stubborns: crispy, sweet, and with
nuts or chocolate). My reasons are to learn more about other regions
of our nice world. It's the best world we have, and it's the only
one!
If you sent something, and I don't like it, don't go into a
huff. Taste is something you can't quarrel about ;-)

My remarks |
Banini:
Darovi |
 |
Serbia |
Not as soft as they look, and sweet. The chocolate is just
lightly flavoured. Nice to some black tea ;-)
|
Cadbury:
Chocolate Chunk Cookies |
 |
Great Britain |
Standard, but hey - who said that "standard" ment
"ordinary"?! They are great! Um, am I spoilt?
|
Country Ma'am:
Chocochip Cookies Sweet Potato |
 |
Japan |
Soft, sweet, and a bit of coffee aroma. Dear, they are packed
separately!
|
Fox's "Some Like'em Hot!":
Chunky Chocolate |
 |
Great Britain |
Oh dear, GREAT - if you let 'em a bit longer in the
oven... They become crisp, what I like very much!
|
Fox's "Some Like'em Hot!":
Raspberry & White Chocolate |
 |
Great Britain |
Quite OK, a bit soft. Taste cold well, the hot experience
revealed a bit too much sweetness.
|
Fox's "Some Like'em Hot!":
Toffee & Apple |
 |
Great Britain |
In between the two other Fox's. The toffee pieces add a nice
flavour, though quite spicy.

Gabe's favourite |
 |
U.S.A. |
This is just a virtual cookie. Please read what Gabe
wrote:
This is Gabe Stein's favorite cookie, but since a girl at
school makes it and won't tell him the recipe, he doesn't have
the recipe. For this, he is sorry. Anyhow, the cookie's batter
is the finest homemade chocolate chip batter. You crunch into
the outer crust and your teeth fall into a soft inside, both
of which melt in your mouth over a period of about 5
seconds. The filling in this is not chocolate chip, but fine
Irish toffee. The hard outside of the toffee is a dark
coffee-like color, crisp in texture. Once you bite past the
shell, your teeth sink into a chewy cream-colored filling that
tastes like something between Vanilla, Butter, Eggs and
Sugar. When you chew it, the hard shell, still affecting the
texture at this point, melts away and leaves behind a smooth,
ultimately creamy mix, which slides deliciously down. Overall,
the cookie is definently the best I have ever had. Will work
on getting the recipe! If anyone knows of such a recipe,
please e-mail it to
Potterhead4@aol.com!

"Green tea" |
 |
Japan |
Yeah, if you like green tea, they're great. Fit very well to
black tea, not sweet.
|
Manner Törtchen |
 |
Austria |
Very typical for Austrian waffles, and very tasty. They have
to be eaten in time for maximum pleasure!
|
Nabisco:
Nutter Butter |
 |
U.S.A. |
Quite OK; as I like peanuts very much, it could have a
stronger taste.
|
Nabisco:
OREO |
 |
U.S.A. |
Yes, very chunky and "chocolately"! I was told that
there are more sorts...
|
Nestlé Toll House:
Semi-Sweet Morsels |
 |
U.S.A. |
I tried the recipes on the pack, see below.
|
Tesco:
Half Coated Triple Choc Cookies |
 |
Great Britain |
Very promising, and they are very good.
|
Tesco:
Half Coated Triple Nut Cookies |
 |
Great Britain |
What a surprise: three kinds of nuts gave an extraordinary
taste. I like them very much.
|
Tesori di Pasticceria:
Ferratelle morbide farcite |
 |
Italy |
I expected something crunchy (I don't understand Italy), but
what a great surprise: they are crumbly and filled with
chocolate cream! Yes, I like them ;-)

Chocolate chip cookies |
 |
Jonathan |
Sweet and crunchy! I like 'em very much!! As you can see, I
have no cookie pan, that's why they became so huge!
|
Chocolate chip cookies, alternate version |
 |
Neale |
Based on the usual recipe, replacing butter by vegetable oil,
granulated sugar by turbinado sugar, and using whole wheat
flour. Neale wrote they were runny; however, my try showed
slighty different results.
|
Double chocolate chip brownies |
 |
Nestlé's morsels pack |
Although made with nearly the same ingredients as the
chocolate chip cookies, these taste of chocolate much more!
For now my favourites.
|
Kue nogat |
 |
Joanna |
It's quite difficult to melt the sugar without letting it get
brown. But the result tastes well...
|
Neiman-Marcus Cookies |
 |
Jonathan |
Some problems with the ingredients make me think that I
created something else - but the chocolate and the oatmeal
made them very special! And yes, this is the mystic recipe!
Jonathan said his mother knows the source of the
"famous" email...
