I really liked the plain Hershey’s Cookies…the fudgy middle plus cookie. We had 4 boxes for 18 people in my office…all but crumbs were gone in less than 2 days.

wife – sorry, I ate them all =) i’ll pick up some from the grocery store next time…

cybele – that’s pretty cool that you’re using your office… the photos come out looking like they’re perfectly cut somehow using photoshop. We actually made a “lightbox” out of a large cardboard box. Cut out the sides of the box and taped pieces of white sheets over them. Then we use two home depot clamp spotlights (those metal ones) on either side to get diffuse light coming through. It’s not bad, but still needs correction. However, the weakest link is of course me. I am not good at photography =)

Marvo – Thanks! I have an odd setup for my photos – I use my office. The building across the street has a white roof and white stucco walls so it’s the perfect bounceboard. If I pull up all the blinds my office is VERY bright.

I just take some large sheets of ledger office paper and tape them to the wall and curve onto the desk and shoot using the diffused light. I make adjustments in photoshop to high-key the background.

(You can kinda tell the cloudy days if you look at all the photos.)

I would like to get a lightbox though, so that I can have more consistent photos and of course be able to take them at night!

Oh, Almond Joys are photographed and half were wolfed down immediately … they’re really good. Definitely more like candy than cookies.

When these first came out they were SOOOOOO hard to find, but now I see them everywhere, especially in the family pack. Thank goodness because 99 cents for four cookies is kind of expensive.

I have had the York ones before and found them to be MUCH better than the Girl Scout thin mints. I just bought the Almond Joy cookies last night and haven’t had a chance to photograph them before munching. If I’d seen the York ones again, I would buy them in a heartbeat.
