Berry Days of Summer

Oh -- I just couldn't wait for July's special cookie flavor from Ruby Snap. Raspberries. I love berries in summer, and berries are healthy for you! Well, I'd like to introduce you to "Memphis". Worth all the waiting, and dreaming, and anticipating - it is....well....like nearly all her other creations, indescribable! A vanilla dough with hints of lucious raspberries...
Did I mention I LOVE berries, particularly fresh berries? I eat a lot of berries (mostly frozen) but they just taste so much better in the dead of summer (or the beginning, or the end), or maybe that is just how I feel! Anyway, while I was waiting in line to be introduced to "Memphis", I decided I had to have another one of my favorite cookies for the road - and it hit me that it also has berries, well cherries. Hello "Judy", for those who don't know about this cookie, it is an almond dough with dark cherries and dark chocolate chips, drizzled with chocolate. I like it warm, in the dead of winter.


If you can't make it to Ruby Snap for some of her lucious, memory making cookies (and trust me, you shouldn't go very often!) berry or not, my grandkids introduced me to another summer taste treat from Nabisco -
These "Berry Burst Ice-cream" Oreo's are really good! Almost a bit "too" good. I was surprised. Not one to purchase store bought cookies of any kind - I would buy these again. I LOVE berries of any kind in the dead of summer (or beginning, or end....)
