Lofthouse Spring Sugar Cookies

Do other people feel like sugar is the only thing that helps with migraine nausea or am I just deluding myself? I hope they cover this issue on The Pitt. Anyway, these cookies are great, way better than the supersweet puffy circles with gobs of frosting on top (which have their place too, let's be real). They kind of remind me of a homemade holiday cookie - buttery, bendy/soft, tender, but not flakey or crunchy or stale (yet). Very shortbread-heavy. Very wholesome. And nut free! Plus 100 calos isn't TERRIBLE for a cookie. And it IS spring, which has really plummeted in my season rankings since ~2020, but at least it's light out at night now (good for driving). 

Overall
Cost: 4/10 [6$... humbug]
Taste: 8/10

Lofthouse Patriotic Shortbread Cookies

The thing about a memorial day-adjacent birthday is that you get a lot of patriotism in your [[sad birthday] cookies]. Not [sad [birthday cookies], because patriotism aside, these are pretty satisfying. They aren't cakey like those big lofthouse circles; more of a typical shortbread with a reasonable (ish) quantity of icing and an unreasonable (in a good way) amount of sprinkles. Crucially, these are nut free and also legume free. They're far from sugar-free, of course, but hey, it's my birthday!!(ish). Here's to 30 more years of unhinged blogging about my food terrors and compulsions! \o/
