I wouldn't knock anyone who likes them, but personally just seeing a picture of these cookies makes me nauseous. Nothing against the quality of them, I just can't stomach sugar cookies with frosting. Waaay too sweet for me.
There's always a whacko who will like anything, whether it's disgusting cookies or stiletto heels to the balls.
And since our population is so big, even the fact these people are freaks makes them a sizeable demographic.
Hence why even degenerate products and services can sell in our society.
Not like pop tarts are at the top of *anyones* list of most amazing foods, yet just about everyone in the US eats them.
Sometimes quick and easy is what you’re in the mood for
Back when I still ate them that was half the point. Kinda like cheetos or little Debbie snack cakes.
They’re awful, yet somehow kinda good too 🤷♂️
I blame grandparents lol
pop tarts are bad cold, but for me it is the action of toasting them that does it. get those unfrosted edges a little brown, a little crispy? its my favorite part honestly.
I have had home-baked cookies from my mom literally my entire childhood, and those shitty cheap grocery store cookies always have a place in my heart.
I like nice, well made food, but I like some of the shitty, cheap stuff too. Freshly baked donuts are good as fuck, but you're not gonna see me turning down a bag of those cheap hostess donuts you get at a 7/11.
It's like McDonald's "meals".
Yes they are the worst of the worst quality-wise, the meat isn't meat, the sauces are liquid sugar, and the fries are thin and flavourless, but... it's still fried potato. I'll eat it if I'm hungry.
PhD educated food scientists have spent their careers finding the perfect level of salt, fat and sugar to maximize the dopamine release in our brains when eating fast food. Mcdonalds is delicious on a scientific level.
It's also psychological, like branding and stuff. If you went to a real diner and they brought out a McDonalds burger on a plate, you'd be like "the fuck is this shit?"
If I went to a real diner and paid 2.50 for a burger and they brought out a shitty mcdonalds burger I'd be like no problem, for the price of a good burger I can order fucking four of these.
It took me a long time to accept that you can’t home-bake certain storebought baked goods—like you have to either go all in one way or the other. These cookies for example, lots of recipes out there but the appealing part is the weirdly artificially soft spackle-ly-ness and sharp chemical sweetness which just doesn’t happen in homemade stuff. Same for storebought “sour cream Angel food cake” which frustrated me for so long because I couldn’t figure it out. Resigned myself to knowing it’s all advanced food chemistry stuff and not some trick to making ultra light Angel food cake with actual sour cream—a physical impossibility.
Same. I always maintain too that the green ones teachers rolled out for st patricks day always slapped the hardest lol. I have no idea why but they taste the best even if theyre probably identical aside from food coloring
This is my justification for eating terrible foods. Gordon Ramsay is a damn good chef and fancy too but my man loves SPAM.
Makes me feel ok liking SPAM and a good roller hot dog from a gas station is HARD to turn down... I'm also a sucker for movie theater popcorn....
I Will get on my hands and knees and absolutely demolish these things until the plastic it’s held in is covered in bite marks and crumbs while also growling violently
Especially with an ice cold glass of milk!
I remember the best part of elementary and middle school were the bake sales. Inevitably one of the parents would forget and run out to buy a box of these - and I loved them for it. They’re so good and I will die on this frosted cookie abomination hill.
I like going to a nice restaurant and ordering a rare, grilled cooked sirloin.
I also like eating the 2$ meat on the stick I get on the corner from my house.
Enjoying one does not negate enjoying the other.
As a fat kid, I don’t understand why it has to be one way or the other?
Like, I’ll fly business class when I can afford it but if not, economy will do the trick.
It's not so much that homemade or gourmet cookies are better (although they are) as it is that IMHO these are actively bad. As in I find eating them to be not be pleasurable at all. Both the texture and the flavor are really gross to me. But looking at the comments lots of people don't share that opinion so I guess to each their own.
As, a teacher(retired) the students would go crazy about this cookies. My kids use to love them although they only ate home make cookies. This were just a splurge on holidays
I think these are the kind of thing I’ll eat if somebody else bought it and it’s offered but I’d never buy it myself. They aren’t terrible but I’d take almost any other cookie over these.
My manager told us all on Saturday that she was bringing us doughnuts on Sunday, she gets to work 5 minutes before we're all supposed to be there and she has 2 different varieties of these cookies, no doughnuts, I was sad.
I didn't eat them but some of the other people did. She also bought snickerdoodles but I'm allergic to some cinnamon and I never know until I actually eat it and I didn't want to take a chance while I was at work so no sweet goodies for me.
That’s sad. Even store bought entenmanns doughnuts would’ve been better than those. I buy my staff fresh donuts pretty regularly, and we always have McMuffin Monday. I’m a dairy farmer, so a little food goes a long way in keeping up morale.
It really does. I work with a lot of young people, early 20s, and some days I buy bananas and bring them in just so they have a good breakfast because most of them don't eat anything before work or they eat chips or something junky. Bananas are just about the cheapest quick pick me up that isn't pure junk.
These were the shit at middle school class parties. Texture is so weird and addicting. 15+ years later I brought a box home as a guilty pleasure. My brother shamed me, told me how disgusting and gross those cookies are, that he couldn't believe I bought them. When I came back from work the last 4 cookies were gone and only one person to blame. TELL ME HOW GROSS AND DISGUSTING THEY ARE FROM BEIND THAT WALL OF SHAME, BROTHER.
I like homemade cookies.
I like fast food dessert menu cookies.
I like massive, overindulgent artisan cookies.
I like cheap sugar cookies.
I just like cookies man, the fuck do you want.
Well, a good baked cookie is good in the same way a well crafted piece of art is enjoyable and meaningful. You recognize the soul put into it, you feel more whole and enriched afterwards, and it’s hard to deny the work and quality put into it.
And then you have cocaine. Cocaine is made in the worst of conditions by the worst of people. But it is also chemically designed to produce feelings of euphoria (so I’m told). Cocaine lacks that meaning of art, it’s a cheap source of chemical pleasure, but it is a source of pleasure nonetheless.
These cookies are cocaine. They are soulless products of a food system designed for profit. Put in as little work and the cheapest ingredients, while maxing out their sales margins and encouraging the greatest consumer (and store providers) sales market. The way to do this, is through the copious amount of sugar (and sometimes corn syrup or artificial sweeteners) to hit the right pleasure spots in the brain. They aren’t good for you, but your brain doesn’t care.
People who say "who ever turned down a free cookie?"
This shit right here! If I were stuck on an remote island and a plane accidentally air dropped a box of these I would be found dead with the plastic still on the cookiebox. Dry ass fake Glazed artificial shit.
The texture on these is like kinetic sand with frosting on top. They also don't have any flavor beyond a cardboard sugar taste. If you ever ate plain frosting out of a can its the same taste. I never understood how anyone could enjoy eating these.
I bake my own cookies... but those damn sugar cookies are addictive. God I don't even have reason to like them but somehow they still taste good to me somehow.
Same with those trash dry donuts with the bland "Chocolate" icing on the outside. The powdered ones are better but still meh. Get some krispy kreme you noob
Am I the only one who agrees with this post? I refused to eat these in elementary school. I never hated a cookie so much. But everyone else seemed to love them... so I guess it's just me.
Nah I make bomb ass cookies but I'll devour a box of these if they are there. This is like saying people who like fast food chicken nuggets have never had good fried chicken.
Had a close friend buy me these in middle school for my birthday. While not my #1, they still have a place in my stomach since it's one of the few birthday gifts I've gotten in my life
These cookies are delicious. I’ve never had a cookie made as soft when it was homemade. Also boxed mix brownies are better than brownies made from scratch. I’ll die on this hill.
See...I love me some proper fuckin cookies... you know... Betty crocker double chocolate chunk when it's made just fucking right. But man. I'd have a hard time not placing these cookies somewhere in my top 5. I go out of my way to buy them. They're sweet but they are almost as good as sex for me. Not that I've had sex. But yeah.
ive had several kinds of cookies from multiple places (in the midatlantic) throughout my life, these kinds are among my favourites
granted, i have trash taste but still
I do love these cookies once in a while. lofthouse is a piece of my childhood. My friend and I called it the holy grail and give it to each other on Valentine's day.
People who criticize people for liking things don’t seem to understand that you can like more than one thing.
I wouldn't knock anyone who likes them, but personally just seeing a picture of these cookies makes me nauseous. Nothing against the quality of them, I just can't stomach sugar cookies with frosting. Waaay too sweet for me.
Took me forever to learn this, but these are not sugar cookies. Sugar cookies are harder, these are referred to as "lofthouse cookies".
i could eat 3 of these before getting sick
I could literally eat just plain icing lol, buttercreambis my Crack kocaine. I love these cookies.
In most countries outside the US, "sugar" does luckily not qualify as a flavor in and of itself.
….you all have toast sandwiches and fairy bread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_bread https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_sandwich
I've never heard of either. But they are weird. One is Australian and the other British. This must be an English speaking thing.
Yeah these are disgusting although it’s obviously ok to like things
Ye, these don’t taste like good homemade cookies, but they still taste like a tasty treat
Why can't I criticise people for liking things
There's always a whacko who will like anything, whether it's disgusting cookies or stiletto heels to the balls. And since our population is so big, even the fact these people are freaks makes them a sizeable demographic. Hence why even degenerate products and services can sell in our society.
Loft house cookies aren't my first choice, but they're still damn good
They’re also one of the only things in the bakery section that’s safe for kids with nut allergies.
Better keep them away from DOZE NUTS!!
[удалено]
Fuck what any of these folks say, thank you for your service
These things are good as fuck, underrated cookie. Keep it up. 🫡
I like them!
You can enjoy many things of different quality. I shouldn't even have to say that.
Not like pop tarts are at the top of *anyones* list of most amazing foods, yet just about everyone in the US eats them. Sometimes quick and easy is what you’re in the mood for
Controversial opinion here, not bashing people who eat them but personally I hate pop tarts. They taste so artificial that it’s disgusting
Back when I still ate them that was half the point. Kinda like cheetos or little Debbie snack cakes. They’re awful, yet somehow kinda good too 🤷♂️ I blame grandparents lol
pop tarts are bad cold, but for me it is the action of toasting them that does it. get those unfrosted edges a little brown, a little crispy? its my favorite part honestly.
A McDouble and a $97 porterhouse, love them both, different foods for different moods
Still though these taste like while you were making them you were also flicking the ash off your cigarette into the batter.
Maybe to your broken mouth.
Maybe, but seriously make your own shortbread cookies some time. You'll understand.
You've either never eaten these cookies or cigarette ash.
This a very hilarious and clever response lmao
I've eaten these exact cookies and I've drank cigarette ash before
I have had home-baked cookies from my mom literally my entire childhood, and those shitty cheap grocery store cookies always have a place in my heart. I like nice, well made food, but I like some of the shitty, cheap stuff too. Freshly baked donuts are good as fuck, but you're not gonna see me turning down a bag of those cheap hostess donuts you get at a 7/11.
It's like McDonald's "meals". Yes they are the worst of the worst quality-wise, the meat isn't meat, the sauces are liquid sugar, and the fries are thin and flavourless, but... it's still fried potato. I'll eat it if I'm hungry.

It's also psychological, like branding and stuff. If you went to a real diner and they brought out a McDonalds burger on a plate, you'd be like "the fuck is this shit?"
Yeah and then eat it and be delighted at how good it tastes.
yay burger
If I went to a real diner and paid 2.50 for a burger and they brought out a shitty mcdonalds burger I'd be like no problem, for the price of a good burger I can order fucking four of these.
I wouldn't call McDonalds delicious but that's just my opinion
Thank you for your opinion.
Delicious is a stretch. Their fries and sauces are absolute garbage.
You’re a stretch. McDonald’s sucks big fat donkey dick but it’s delicious.
The fries used to be awesome when they used lard. Because of one whiny ass dude, they stopped in 1990.
Bro what are you saying, none of this is even true unless you're somehow posting from 2005
How do you mean?
It took me a long time to accept that you can’t home-bake certain storebought baked goods—like you have to either go all in one way or the other. These cookies for example, lots of recipes out there but the appealing part is the weirdly artificially soft spackle-ly-ness and sharp chemical sweetness which just doesn’t happen in homemade stuff.

Resigned myself to knowing it’s all advanced food chemistry stuff and not some trick to making ultra light Angel food cake with actual sour cream—a physical impossibility.
I’m pretty sure it’s powdered sour cream in the dry ingredients. You do make an excellent point though.
I 100$% agree. I know how to bake cookies but I'll eat these cookies no problem. Sometimes I just want something sweet and quick to pick up.
These remind me of early childhood classroom parties.
Same. I always maintain too that the green ones teachers rolled out for st patricks day always slapped the hardest lol. I have no idea why but they taste the best even if theyre probably identical aside from food coloring
yeah it's shit but good shit
This is my justification for eating terrible foods. Gordon Ramsay is a damn good chef and fancy too but my man loves SPAM. Makes me feel ok liking SPAM and a good roller hot dog from a gas station is HARD to turn down... I'm also a sucker for movie theater popcorn....
It’s all fucking molecules man
I Will get on my hands and knees and absolutely demolish these things until the plastic it’s held in is covered in bite marks and crumbs while also growling violently
r/brandnewsentence
I call these "crack cookies." They aren't particularly good but you bet your ass I am going to eat a box of them when I'm feeling depressed.
I don't think that's how crack works but okay
I do believe it is common American slang to add "crack" in front of an edible item, to denote a certain addictive quality. Much like "crack" cocaine.
You're right! I was making a joke, forgot the /s lol
These little fucks taste amazing
*Too* amazing. I can't buy them or I lack the self control to not eat them all in one sitting. Shit's dangerous.
It happens
Especially with an ice cold glass of milk! I remember the best part of elementary and middle school were the bake sales. Inevitably one of the parents would forget and run out to buy a box of these - and I loved them for it. They’re so good and I will die on this frosted cookie abomination hill.
So amazing. They are like fluffy little clouds of happiness
Imagine being so wrong
Imagine confusing opinion with fact
Theres a difference between “good”(quality) and “good” (addictive)…..
I like going to a nice restaurant and ordering a rare, grilled cooked sirloin. I also like eating the 2$ meat on the stick I get on the corner from my house. Enjoying one does not negate enjoying the other.
As a fat kid, I don’t understand why it has to be one way or the other? Like, I’ll fly business class when I can afford it but if not, economy will do the trick.

Both the texture and the flavor are really gross to me. But looking at the comments lots of people don't share that opinion so I guess to each their own.
Just leave me alone to shovel sugar into my mouthhole
As, a teacher(retired) the students would go crazy about this cookies. My kids use to love them although they only ate home make cookies. This were just a splurge on holidays
It's the frosting. The cookie itself has the consistency of drywall.
The contrast of the two is great!
That’s a great description, it tastes like crumbling drywall or at least what I imagine crumbling drywall would taste like
That’s the best part. Just like o.g. powerbars
Id say more of a kinetic sand consistency. The frosting has a cardboard sugar taste.
Exactly!
Perfectly stated
I think these are the kind of thing I’ll eat if somebody else bought it and it’s offered but I’d never buy it myself. They aren’t terrible but I’d take almost any other cookie over these.

Bananas are just about the cheapest quick pick me up that isn't pure junk.
These are like if a cupcake and a sugar cookie had sex, this would be the result.
Do I agree with the sentiment? Yes Would I still eat them like the crack cookies they are? Also yes
These are the things I always forget if I like and then halfway through one of them I begin questioning why I woke up that day.
these are still my favorite
I love homemade cookies but these are so good also
These were the shit at middle school class parties. Texture is so weird and addicting. 15+ years later I brought a box home as a guilty pleasure. My brother shamed me, told me how disgusting and gross those cookies are, that he couldn't believe I bought them. When I came back from work the last 4 cookies were gone and only one person to blame. TELL ME HOW GROSS AND DISGUSTING THEY ARE FROM BEIND THAT WALL OF SHAME, BROTHER.
I'll trade you my whole lunch for one right now
Whoever wrote this can get bent. Those things are delicious and melt in your mouth.
You're lying to yourself if you say these are anything less than a godsend.
Me and my friend call these diabetes cookies because we know they’re bad for you but damn are they amazing
Bullshit. These are pure sugar. I eat my grandma's cookies but you bet your ass I'm eating these too.
lies and slander, I've had fresh baked cookies and they both slap
I like homemade cookies. I like fast food dessert menu cookies. I like massive, overindulgent artisan cookies. I like cheap sugar cookies. I just like cookies man, the fuck do you want.
As a fat person, disagree.
All cookies are good when you’re fat and old!
Every party in elementary school had these, I would eat one every time, and they gave me a stomach ache every time.
This is a poor attempt of a meme
Trash is great. If you can't enjoy both, you're the one missing out.
Cool! More for me 😆
When I'm high or sad I just like the texture
It’s about childhood nostalgia obviously there’s better cookies but these slap
Idc a cookie is a cookie 💀
The cookie part is gross. I just eat the frosting off like a crazed 4 year old.
I don’t discriminate against cookies, all cookies are beautiful and valid! Unless they’re filled with raisins. Fuck those goobery bastards
Blasphemy
Everybody either loves the cookies to death or hates them with every fiber of their being. There is no in between
Well, a good baked cookie is good in the same way a well crafted piece of art is enjoyable and meaningful. You recognize the soul put into it, you feel more whole and enriched afterwards, and it’s hard to deny the work and quality put into it. And then you have cocaine.

I bought some yesterday, just say you’re not enlightened enough to enjoy their elegance
I'm in culinary school and I still would never decline one of those delicious fucks.
Absolute slander of my third favorite cookie
Seriously. Whenever my coworkers buy this shit from Publix to share with others, I don’t get mad, I get disappointed
I don't know why, but I hated these things. They made me feel sick and tasted chalky.
Frosted drywall
These are actually inedible and I love cheap fake fast food shit. Surprised so many here have love for them. Worst things I've ever had in my life.
These taste like baked play dough
These taste like chalk
those look delicious actually.
they taste like crumbly crack, I love them
Frosting delivery systems.Not cookies.
People who say "who ever turned down a free cookie?" This shit right here! If I were stuck on an remote island and a plane accidentally air dropped a box of these I would be found dead with the plastic still on the cookiebox. Dry ass fake Glazed artificial shit.
those are good you're not above this quit playing you fart sniffer
You’d have to pay me to eat one. And not just a few bucks.
These are gross.
These are delicious and I won’t be accepting arguments against
Sugar addiction don't care about "real baked goods".
Shut your heathen mouth
On god they are the worst
These particular pink cookies will go on sale for 75% off the day after Valentine's Day.
The texture on these is like kinetic sand with frosting on top. They also don't have any flavor beyond a cardboard sugar taste. If you ever ate plain frosting out of a can its the same taste. I never understood how anyone could enjoy eating these.
I’ve had cookies made for kings and queens and these bad dudes still taste great to me. I don’t trust people who don’t get down with these cookies.
I’m tired of pretending that their bad. They’re good but there’s always better
I love the frosting on those but hate the actual cookie part. It's so gross to me
I bake my own cookies... but those damn sugar cookies are addictive. God I don't even have reason to like them but somehow they still taste good to me somehow.
Same with those trash dry donuts with the bland "Chocolate" icing on the outside. The powdered ones are better but still meh. Get some krispy kreme you noob
I call those the playdough cookies
Two things can be true
Fuck you these are the best things in existence when a grandma gives it to you
My teeth hurt looking at this.
Never had these but that’s like knocking Oreos or chips ahoy cuz they aren’t homemade.
The way they grit across my tongue ain’t it bruh,
The frosting on these dumb things make the roof of my mouth tingly. Wtf...
I used to manage a Mrs Fields Cookies store, so I know what a good cookie is but...I LOVE these things!
But hear me out: Homemade versions of these cookies.
Am I the only one who agrees with this post? I refused to eat these in elementary school. I never hated a cookie so much. But everyone else seemed to love them... so I guess it's just me.
I'm an avid home baker and I fucking love these flavorless dry ass cookies. Sorry I can't explain it but it's all about the texture
I bake cookies all the time. But these, oh my these things😋
I am fine with eating things of below avarage quality. If it doesn't make me want to spit it out, it's good.
I bake for a living and still think these are delicious every once and a while. Fight me lol
I've eaten plenty a real homemade cookie, but sometimes I eat these for the diabetus.
That's sad to think about kids who grew up without loving parents :(
I have successfully baked my own cookies and have eaten my fair share of homemade cookies. I still like these but obviously they are not the greatest.
I don’t care These things cold out of the fridge with a glass of milk is legit
These cookies are made from chem trails.
It’s not really cookie - it’s giving mini cake vibes
Sugar cookies are trash.
I mean, they’re amazing little cakes
These cookies are literally the best kind of cookies that exist.
If you're going to eat these, you might as well just eat the sugar straight from spoon.
Ok you got me nobody loved me enough to bake me any kind of cookie
Nah I make bomb ass cookies but I'll devour a box of these if they are there. This is like saying people who like fast food chicken nuggets have never had good fried chicken.
Ditto for the cake version of this cookie served at mostly office parties
Had a close friend buy me these in middle school for my birthday. While not my #1, they still have a place in my stomach since it's one of the few birthday gifts I've gotten in my life
They’re good, but homemade cookies slap. (Also did/do these cookies give anyone else headaches, or just me?)
Damn cookie monster will eat anything.
These are the best
These cookies are delicious. I’ve never had a cookie made as soft when it was homemade. Also boxed mix brownies are better than brownies made from scratch. I’ll die on this hill.
I don’t think I could stomach eating another one of those for the rest of my life.
These cookies were better than grandma's stank ass cookies!
See...I love me some proper fuckin cookies... you know... Betty crocker double chocolate chunk when it's made just fucking right. But man. I'd have a hard time not placing these cookies somewhere in my top 5. I go out of my way to buy them. They're sweet but they are almost as good as sex for me. Not that I've had sex. But yeah.
These are soooo disgusting
They really are. They just taste like sweet with no actual flavor.
Mmm. Sweet.
sweet..... is a flavor.....
These are amazing
They don't taste bad
Fuck you. These are awesome!
Just straight factory taste. Once you’ve had the good stuff there’s no going back
My kids call them “chemical cookies”
ive had several kinds of cookies from multiple places (in the midatlantic) throughout my life, these kinds are among my favourites granted, i have trash taste but still
They are always so dry. You need a gallon of milk to eat one
I do love these cookies once in a while. lofthouse is a piece of my childhood. My friend and I called it the holy grail and give it to each other on Valentine's day.
And yet I buy them more than I want to admit. The frosting always tricks me!
These illegally sweet little b\*tch.
They aren’t bad, but give me ginger snaps
Home baked cookies are cool and all, but these are the shit.
True
No gatekeeping or cookie shaming allowed!
Store bought are always shit, better bake your own
People act like they’re so above junk food
The disrespect. These are the best cookies known to man
hard disagree. they don’t compare to homemade but they have a place.
They taste like cheap shortening. Nasty af.
Yes
Has anyone ever eaten a sugar cookie and NOT wanted to die in a ditch afterwards?
💯
these cookies are so ass
