Guess what? Today is National Scrabble Day! I suggest celebrating by inviting a few friends over for a rousing Scrabble tournament. Munch on these delicious edible scrabble tiles (that are actually Meyer lemon sugar cookies!) while you add up triple word scores and fight over whether “Khaleesi” counts as a proper English word.

10 Dream Oreo Inventions
The Oreo Separator
This guy invented a machine that separates an Oreo cookie from its creme. Read More »
When I was eight, pretty much all I cared about in life was My Garbage Pail Kids collection and how I could get my hands on more Big Stuff Oreos. I was allowed to have one every day with lunch, which was the equivalent of about four regular Oreos, but still, that wasn’t enough for me. In my mission to get more Big Stuffs, I befriended a girl in the neighborhood because her mom always kept them in the house. We had nothing else in common besides our love of the giant, creme filled cookies. It was a social sacrifice I was willing to make. Clearly, if I had to choose, I was, and still am, a creme over cookie person — though as Oreo is reminding us with their newest campaign, there is no wrong answer. (Check out their new site — and declare your loyalty — here.)
Anyway, when they discontinued the Big Stuffs in 1991, and I had to revert to eating a fistful of Double Stuff Oreos, I’ll admit, I went through a period of mourning. I still hold out hope that they’ll bring them back. I even joined the Facebook group in support. It’s OK to dream. But until then, I’ve been busy concocting some other kinds of Oreo inventions that would make me just as happy as the return of Big Stuffs. Maybe. Keep reading »
Love Stinks — And These Grumpy Cat Cookies Agree!
Hate love? So does Grumpy Cat. Which is why she’s the perfect anti-ambassador for Valentine’s Day. I mean, right now, Grumpy Cat is probably organizing her V-Day plan of attack, which likely involves squirelling away into a pile of litter while everyone else is professing their adoration. These Grumpy Cat cookies are made by Whipped Bake Shop in Philadelphia, and each one is lovingly (hatefully?) packaged with the phrases “Love stinks,” “Overrated” and “Dislike.” Whipped also serves up sugar cookies shaped like bacon and eggs, and a “horny for you” set, featuring a tricerotops and a unicorn. And because they’re total pervs, there’s even a “Mustache Rides, Admit 1″ cookie set. [Whipped Bake Shop, $28] Keep reading »
Someone Please Make Me These Cookies, Thanks
I’m not crafty, or good in the kitchen. So I’m calling on you, dear Frisky readers, to kindly make me a batch of these New Year’s Eve cookies. They’re made of three layers, the middle of which is hollow and contains confetti sprinkles. You break ‘em open when the clock strikes midnight, of course. Pretty neat, huh? And I’ll happily accept any cookie care packages you want to send my way… [Repeat Crafter Me]

Be My Boyfriend: Real Life Cookie Monster
Dear Real Life Cookie Monster,
Listen, I know absolutely nothing about you, except for the fact that you are dressed in a Cookie Monster costume while buying a package of Chips Ahoy in a surprisingly dispassionate manner. I don’t need to know anything else. Please give me your address so I can bring you a box of Oreos and hold up a sign that says, “To me, you are perfect.”
xoxo,

Weekend Project: Candy Corn Cookies
Oh, candy corn: every September, I get so excited about it, and then I eat a few handfuls and spend the afternoon with a disgusting waxy sugar headache, cursing the day it was created. I’ve been trying to steer clear of candy corn this year, but cookies are a whole different story, and I love the idea of translating the charming, iconic candy corn design into a festive sugar cookie. So cute. [Sweet Sugar Belle]
Put It In My Mouth: Candy Corn Oreos
Look, I know I said I’m vegan and all, but damn if these Candy Corn Oreos are not the most wonderful invention in the world. I used to eat candy corn until I was sick from it because my the sugar receptors in my body are broken or something. Anyway! These are real actual cookies that you can buy at the store and eat until you repulse yourself, so get on that, okay?

Are You Ready For A Chocolate Chip Cookie Grilled Cheese Sandwich?
At first glance, this grilled cheese cookie sandwich looks, well, let’s go with “disconcerting.” I mean, the melted orange cheese between two chocolate chip cookies? It’s weird. It’s unexpected. It’s…delicious? Yep, according to its creator, Chef Stef of The Cupcake Project, this hybrid confection is the ultimate dessert: a perfect union of sweet and salty, gooey and crunchy. She even developed a second version that’s cooked on a hot griddle. I’m ready to give it a try. How about you? [Neatorama]
