Star Cookies Are Here

At this time of year, in this part of Brooklyn, signs start going up: "Star Cookies". What are these cookies? They are simple, unremarkable, COMPLETELY ADDICTING little cookies shaped like stars- natch. There are boxes of said cookies piled to the ceilings of most stores in my neighborhood, honest to god.

I suspect that these cookies may have magical powers.

I was feeling a little blue today: it was 2 in the afternoon, and I hadn't left my apartment yet, and I decided to head out for a stroll. A store was selling star cookies in smaller boxes for (sic:) "ONLY 1 DOLAR" so I bought a box. Got a cup of coffee, went home, ate half the box of cookies AND IMMEDIATELY FELT GREAT.

I discovered today what native Brooklynites have appartently known for years: star cookies are the answer for the wintertime blues.
