I'm not certain they're a representative sample, but I have a feeling you're right - you can't go wrong with chocolate!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-13273363757224173712007-04-03T14:22:00.000-04:002007-04-03T14:22:00.000-04:00It definitely seems like the cookie panel is swaye...It definitely seems like the cookie panel is swayed by chocolate!! It seems that any cookie with chocolate is getting higher ratings than any cookies without chocolate...hmmm, I feel like some of the other cookies were under-appreciated. But...as far as learning a good lesson...I'm learning through your process that chocolate is the sure crowd pleaser and that when I bother to make anything to bring in and share at work...I might as well make it a chocolate-something! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-20258767794385962962007-04-02T08:02:00.000-04:002007-04-02T08:02:00.000-04:00Hi Mari!

I think the addition of a little liqueur or brandy would be a nice twist. I think I saw some discussion on-line where someone suggested adding some orange rind.<BR/><BR/>Hi Rowena! That they are!
