A fairly self-explanatory article from McSweeney's: Great Moments in Cinema Ruined by Cookies. Take that memorable scene in The Godfather where Jack Woltz finds a severed horse head under his sheets. Now replace the head with a plate of cookies. It's just not the same....

It’s easy to forget in our modern, secular world, but France is a Catholic country. Even its food contains a drop of Holy Water. In the South of France, there docks a very widespread yet singular cookie in the shape of a boat. It is called a Navette, which takes its name from a word that originally meant "boat," but now means something closer to "shuttle." The story goes that at one point, Mary Magdalene sailed to Marseilles, and these little cookies have been made ever since to commemorate her voyage....

Note: On Thursdays, Babbo pastry chef Gina DePalma checks in with Seriously Italian. After a stint in Rome, she's back in the States, channeling her inner Italian spirit via recipes and intel on delicious Italian eats. Take it away, Gina! Mulino Bianco is like the Keebler of Italy. Named after a mythical White Mill depicted on the logo—a pastoral setting from the Italian countryside—the brand offers a dizzying array of yummy crackers, grissini, toasts, cookies and breakfast goodies. In the Italian supermercato, the Mulino Bianco aisle takes up a considerable amount of real estate, for good reason. One of my favorite Mulino Bianco treats are Abbracci. Translated as an embrace or hug, these cookies are a variation on the vanilla-on-chocolate...

Mother's Cookies Circus Animals. Photograph from Food Librarian on Flickr We've followed MothersCookiesGate since the news first broke in October that the company had filed for bankruptcy. The day has come—at least if you live in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. The cookies are officially back on shelves in these select areas. Look out for all the favorites, including Circus Animals, Taffy, and Coconut Cocadas. OK, let's be honest, it's all about the Circus Animals. Motherscookies.com even has a little 55¢-off coupon too (for the lucky souls on the West Coast and Texas).

Photograph from CakeSpy In perhaps the ultimate example of gilding the lily, Cakespy.com has posted a recipe for a Cookie Cake Pie. This concoction is exactly what it sounds like, a pie with a layer of cake and one of cookie dough. It's like a Turducken, but with lots of sugar. I am seriously counting down the seconds till I can make this. What's your favorite dessert mash-up? Related Baking is Cool Again An "All in One" Thanksgiving Cake Meat Cake...

When NPR senior producer Elizabeth Blair interviewed Cookie Monster last year, she asked the blue furball some pretty tough questions. What's you're favorite word? Coooo-kieeees. What's your least favorite word? Out of cooooo-kieees. Favorite sound? Om nom nom nomm. If you were reincarnated as some other plant or animal, what would it be? Snuffleupagus...and have a big snuffle thing. (Nice one, Cookie.) The riveting interview, after the jump....

Just like the bakery cookies, the Milk & Cookies mix is made from all-natural ingredients: oats, wheat flour, brown sugar, and a healthy dose of cinnamon. All I had to add was a stick of butter and an egg.

"The Girl Scouts experience is all about the cookies and it's not." It's very hard to write anything negative about Girl Scout cookies, but some things need to be said. The new flavors released this year, Dulce de Leche (a "Latin" caramel cookie) and Daisy Go Rounds (100-calorie packs of Teddy Graham-like "daisies" which replaced last year's similar-minded Cinna-Spins) are not that tasty. Stick with Thin Mints—even if this year, due to rising flour and oil prices, there are two fewer Thin Mints in every box. Serious Eaters were curious about the new flavors. Some found them "quite delicious" and dunkable in tea. Others were "on the fence." And still others, "meh" and "eh." And yikes, even a "whiff of...
