I’ve been conscripted into a true battle of culinary wills next week: aka the annual office cookie exchange. My boss, Karen, has made it known in no uncertain terms that my fellow co-workers and I are expected to seriously represent at this event. Hopefully the Coconut Sandwich Cookies I intend to bring wont embarrass us. Just to be on the safe side though, Karen provided the following rubric. Would your cookies make the cut?
The Official Cookie Exchange Rebric was entertainingly adapted by Karen Muncaster from “The Original Chocolate Chip Cookie Rubric” created by Ann Bjorklund.

LOL. Hopefully you won’t have any “poor texture” cookies. Dog biscuits and play-doh do not sound too delicious. And also? “needs improvement richness” is totally tragic–there’s nothing more disappointing than a cookie that’s not worth the calories.
We don’t have a cookie exchange at my office, but we do have a potluck. I’m thinking of bringing these wonderful (gluten and grain free!) chocolate-chocolate chip coconut flour cookies. They are not “poor” in any respect.
I need a job so I can exchange cookies!!! (oh wait… nevermind)
so far all looks and sounds great, ladies! good luck, and may the ovens be kind! xxoo!
Mmmm, coconut sandwich cookies.
Hey, I like my cookies crisp around the edges!
That picture has my mouth watering!! Do you have the recipes for those awesome-looking molasses-spice cookies and the cranberry cookies here on this site? Because I believe I need to have them in my tummy. Immediately.
Your wish is my command:

Ah, you are awesome!! *gleefully scampers into the kitchen*
“small irregularities in color or distribution of add-ins” ha ha! that’s hilarious!
Wait… Please wait….. (Gasp)… Just….another ……second…..
I’m sorry, but I can’t stop laughing at the rubric. One woman’s delicious cookie is another’s needs improvement, don’t you think? I hope you have as much fun at the cookie exchange as I did reading this. The coconut sandwich cookies look fabulous! I want to try those soon. Enjoy your holidays!
As usual good post and keep the good work buddy.
