When we had cookies they were usually baked but I remember eating graham crackers. Occasionally, Mom would make frosting to put on them.

@Bonkers1  We sometimes had them, but the staple in our home was Stella D'oro anisette toast.

Oreos, Salerno Butter Cookies, and Dutch Santa Claus Cookies were our store bought options, but not each one all the time.  Sometimes my sister would get my mom to buy Salerno Coconut Bar Cookies.

Growing up in Chicago, we always had Salerno cookies.

And, yes, I did wear the butter cookies on my fingers.

And let's not forget Maurice Lenell cookies.

Yes, @just bee!  I think all kids put the butter cookies on their fingers.  😉

The first time I made pizzelles as a child, standing at the stove holding a heavy pizzelle iron over a flame and making one pizzelle at a time for hours and hours and hours...

It occurred to me that this was the Italian way to keep a child busy and out of trouble.

Absolute genius.

@Bonkers1 My mom was a baker so we didn't have many other type of sweets around.  She bought them when she made banana pudding which my dad loved, me not so much. I so miss her baking!!

When was the last time you saw a Royal Graham?  A graham cracker smothered in chocolate.  One of the best inventions ever.

I miss Mother's Cookies.

I remember Oreos in my household growing up.  I always dipped them in milk.  Yum.
