Chocolate marshmallow cookies are my favorite, but I also make great chocolate meringue bars. And of course my chocolate chip cookies are the bomb! (Do you get the idea I love chocolate?)

Are cookies something you usually keep around the house or only on holidays/special occasions?

It depends how broad your definition of a cookie is...

If you mean this type only:

Then no we don't... We sometimes bake a batch to serve with coffee/tea when we have guests, but that's all.

But if you mean "any type of biscuit", then yes there's always a pack of "Petit Beurre" in the pantry.
