That is the question. I just got done making some homemade peanut butter cookies. My grandson and I just got done having some with milk. On to the question. Do you dip your cookie in milk or something else. We both had a cup of milk to go with our cookies......We Dipped. What is your favorite cookie and do you always dip or not dip? Do you only dip special kinds of cookies? I like dipping Oreos, chocolate chip and crunchy peanut butter cookies.

Boy. That sounds so good. I love to dip my cookies in milk. I like chocolate chip cookies but peanut butter cookies are my favorite. I like to dip cookies especially if they are a little crunchy because it helps to soften them up. I have also dipped cookies in my coffe when I used to add a little milk in it.

I don't dip in coffee, but I will in milk. I am not a big milk drinker neither. I will say the cookies and milk tonight sure was yummy.

I don't dip in my coffe anymore either because I drink it black now. I don't drink much mil at all unless it is chocolate milk. My husband has to have his whole milk every day though. I wish I had the ingredients to make some peanut butter cookies. I am craving them now, LOL.

I Am Not A Dunker! - Dunking cookie in milk causes cookie to get mushy and milk to get goopy crumbs in the bottom.
Eeeeeeewwwwww! I am most certianly not a dipper! In the first place I don't like milk at all. When I think about it, I think of how warm your mouth is inside and I wonder why, when the milk gets in there it doesn't curdle (isn't that a disgusting word?). Even if it doesn't curdle because it isn't in your mouth long enough to do so, it still leaves a film inside your mouth and on your tongue. I have always refused to even kiss anyone that has had a glass of milk until they rinse their mouth with water first. I do drink coffee with cream (but my favorite kisses are coffee with cream and sugar), but do not dip or dunk with that beverage. I have tried, but the cookie gets all mushy and mushy is a texture that I abhor (don't take offense, you old bat, abhor is not a name I am calling you!). Not to mention, when you take the last drink, there is a lot of really goopy stuff that gets mixed with the liquid and that makes me gag. As to Oreos, I love the cookie part, so I am one of the people that screw them apart,but I only eat the side that doesn't have the icing on it, and give the other side away. As you can see, I am very opinionated on this particular subject. Thanks for the great question. Blessed Be~Donna

Only you could answer a question like that, LOL. You for sure are opinionated on the subject. I don't like milk much neither, I like it on cereal or with crunchy cookies. You do make me laugh, I am so glad that I met you. My life is richer with you as a friend. You always bring a smile to my face. You also like to use BIG words, guess what, I even know what they mean. Take care.

I like the Lorna Dunne cookies too, but I don't dip them. My grandson is 3 yrs. old, his mom and dad let him stay up late. then he sleeps late. We are all night owls around here. I still have some cookie dough left, I didn't make them all.

I confess, I dip my cookies when I can. I love dunking oreos, chocolate chip and peanut butter. But I like dunking my peanut butter cookies in not just milk, it has to be hot chocolate. I think they taste better that way.

I have never tried dunking in hot chocolate, it does sound good. I will have to give it a try.

I love making memories with my grandkids. When he came out to the kitchen and saw what I was doing. His face lit up, he went and got his chair. That gets him up to the counter, then he supervised. He is 3 yrs. old, he is my cookie monster, I like to keep him supplied. I make a batch of cookie dough, I keep it in the fridge and then its all ready when we want fresh cookies. I love all kinds of cookies too, it would be hard to pick a favorite. Its too bad you can't have milk with your cookies. Have you tried some of that otc medicine for lactose intolerant. I am not much a milk drinker but I do like it with some cookies and on cereal.

Whether or not I dip cookies depends on the cookie itself, not the type. If the cookie's crunchy and hard, i'll dip it, but if it's soft & chewy [which I LOVE], I won't.

I am with you on the dunking part. Soft and chewy-no dip, crunchy-dip.

Cookie and milk - To dip or not!
I usually don't dip my cookies...but sometimes I do. It all depends on if I'm having my cookie as is or with milk. My husband always dips it in tea...but since I don't drink tea regularly and I don't like the cookie and tea mix, I don't do it. My son sometimes dips it in milk but not always.

I don't dip mine but I don't like milk either so maybe that's why. I like to eat cookies though...I just don't dip.

I do not dip. I like my cookies nice and crunchy. If I were to dip, I guess the kind that I would do is ginger snaps, because they are hard. Besides I had some of my teeth capped and so they do not get cavities now.

I haven't dipped in years, but only because the cookies I eat now are too soft for dipping. My favorite cookies are Pepperidge Farm, the soft baked, so I don't dare dip them as they may just fall apart in the process! LOL I don't like pieces of cookie in my glass of milk...yuck! :P However when I used to dip my cookies they would be Chips Ahoy or Oreo cookies. :) Maybe the next time I go to the store I'll get one or the either...heck with it, maybe I'll get both! LOL That way I can go back to dipping cookies once again! :D

I love the soft baked ones too, those you can't dip. I do like to dip the crunchy ones. Heck, go get both, you won't be sorry.

Whether I dip or not depends on the kind and softness of the cookies, I dip in milk but I absolutely cannot drink the milk after it gets down so low... something about the texture of the soggy cookie crumbs in the milk bothers me, I can't even drink the milk from my cereal bowl. wierd huh?

I like dipping hard cookies in milk, especially store bought ones like Chips Ahoy. Although I like to take the inside out of the oreos and eat just the chocolate wafers.

Crunchy chips ahoy and oreos are good cookies to dunk. I am not crazy about the inside of the oreo neither.

Yuppers, I'm a dippity do too. I like dipping oatmeal cookies in tea. I've never really cared for dipping them in milk. When you think about it, I have hot oatmeal for cereal and put milk on it and like it, but not so with the cookies. Maybe it's because the tea is hot and the cookies are cold, and the cereal is hot and the milk is cold? Oatmeal's the only kind I dip, others I eat plain. My grandson (4) saw me dipping my cookies one day and looked at me strange, so I gave him a bite and he liked it. Now he dips his sometimes too when we have cookies, but he likes his in milk.

I love cookies with milk. But I dip only oreos. hehe. I don't like the bitter taste of the oreo cookies, so after licking the filling, I dip the cookies in milk. As for other kinds of cookies, I enjoy eating them even without dipping them.
