The cookies were from <a href="http://www.rulli.com/cgi-local/surfshop/shop.cgi?ud=AAAFCAAPAAUCCRQVEx0dHAgDBgEAAAYICAkcEAAA&amp;t=main.htm&amp;storeid=1&amp;cols=3&amp;categories=106&amp;&amp;c=/detail/detail.cookies.htm&amp;itemid=PSecca" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Emporio Rulli</a> ($35.95) and were quite delicious. The box was crammed full of various artisan cookies, including almond-paste specialties, mini macaroons, and shortbread. I usually associate a tin of cookies with stale and boring, but these were great. </p> <p>In general, something about store-bought tins seems old-fashioned and overly formal. I'd rather receive a box of goofy-looking, homemade chocolate chip cookies. And yet, I know they would make a great gift for grandma on <a href="http://yumsugar.com/tag/mother&#039;s+day" rel="nofollow">Mother's Day</a>. Which got me wondering, do you buy tins of cookies and if so, do you like them?</p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/1615416" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Would You Buy a Tin of Fancy Cookies?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-1615416" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-1615416" name="edit[choice]" value="0-1615416" class="form-radio" /> Yes, I think they would make nice gifts.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-1615416" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-1615416" name="edit[choice]" value="1-1615416" class="form-radio" /> Yes, I like these simple-styled European cookies.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-1615416" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-1615416" name="edit[choice]" value="2-1615416" class="form-radio" /> No, but I've received them as gifts.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-3-1615416" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-3-1615416" name="edit[choice]" value="3-1615416" class="form-radio" /> No, I don't think they're worth it.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-4-1615416" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-4-1615416" name="edit[choice]" value="4-1615416" class="form-radio" /> Other - tell us in the comments!</label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="1615416" /> <span class='button'><span><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="epoll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.yumsugar.com/1615416#comment cookies poll emporio rulli italian cookies Fri, 09 May 2008 10:30:34 -0700 YumSugar http://www.yumsugar.com/1615416
