• For those of you who asked, I did try to set up a "plane" of items in focus running through the middle of the top of the left cookie, edge of the middle cookie, and over the "OREO" wording of the right cookie.
  • Yes, the crumbs were added intentionally -- but the cookies continued to slide and push the crumbs around as I was adjusting the plate directly under a sole kitchen light bulb hanging over our island from above.

    No one wants to hear that the best tasting cookie in the world (Oreos) is also the worst for you from a saturated fat point of view... so I'll just say, very nice pick for today's ODC

    Oh no! I guess I shouldn't eaten those after taking the shot. Really? Saturated fat?

    These cream biscuits are called cookies in the US. They taste just the same!!!

    What a great snack! Nice shot!

  22. collied (18 months ago | reply)

    Milk and Oreos, the classic snack for all ages. Like the crumbs.

  23. TheG-Forcers (remember...it's 5 o'clock somewhere) (18 months ago | reply)

    Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. I prefer homemade, fresh-out of the oven, chocolate chip cookies if I had to choose between the too. I dont need milk or chocolate milk to drink with any type of cookies, but I do agree it adds to the taste satisfaction if you can dunk a cookie into milk or donuts into coffee, etc. :)

    I'd die for a whole bag full of these, but they'd kill me, and I really don't want to die...
    You were really testing the limits of your camera on this one. Well done.
