23 Cookies That Will Never Let You Down

    We live in a complicated world of cupcakes and cronuts. Cookies are here to help you through.

    Let's take a moment to appreciate the cookie.

    It should be an inspiration to us all.

    At its core, the cookie is humble and straightforward.

    The cookie will always be loyal.

    Case in point: It has been BFFs with chocolate for years.

    But the cookie loves to meet new people...

    ...and it is respectful of their different beliefs and preferences.

    The cookie will never judge you, or make you feel like you're not good enough.

    In fact, it will embrace you for all of your quirks...

    ...because it understands that eccentricities are something to be celebrated.

    It will never look down on you, or tell you to grow up.

    When you need to unwind, a cookie will be there for you. Usually with milk...

    ...but occasionally with something a little bit stronger.

    The cookie is open-minded and willing to collaborate with other desserts.

    But it likes to keep things real, and it'll never make you wait in line.

    You can take a cookie anywhere. It will dress down.

    It will dress up.

    And if need be, it will get pretty festive.

    The cookie is generous and giving.

    It oozes confidence and poise...

    ...but it doesn't need to be the center of attention.

    A cookie will encourage you to embrace innovation and change.

    But, like every lasting friend, it will never expect you to be anything but yourself.
