Andy Rooney thinks they are tasty.
I made a lot of cookies in my lifetime and we don’t have a drop of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in our kitchen. We don’t have any lecithin or niacin either. The Girl Scouts put what they call “reduced iron” in them. How would a girl reduce iron?
I looked up cookies in my Fannie Farmer cookbook and Fannie Farmer doesn’t use riboflavin.
Next time a Girl Scout tries to sell me cookies, I’m going to ask her about partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and about riboflavin.
