"Cookies and Their Appropriate Beverage Accompaniments"
.
(Pictured above, a confused glass, unable to shake the fear of making a wrong decision...is this glass you?)
.I was recently eating a chocolate-chip cookie that I had baked, and as I am not-yet learned in the art of "how-long-to-bake-cookies-so-that-they-are-soft-kwan-doe" they were...a little...dried out? So...to make it easier on my mouth, I decided to soak them in Apple Juice. Dip, rather. This is a natural instinct for me, as I have memories of my father dipping his cookies in Apple Juice. Curious as to if I was the only one who did this, I searched on the Internet, and...zip, nada, nothing! Can you believe it? I mean...hasn't everyone eaten a cookie with apple juice?
.
I do realize there is the traditional "milk & cookies" saying, however this only applies to oreo cookies, or some close knock-off.

So for those of you who need a guide, in the cookie world,

Sometime I dip my biscuit in milk or coffee, but never try apple juice, I'll give it a try then..;)
I surely haven't heard of the apple juice dunking and I don't know if it would kill me, but I'll try it out. As for what to use in the art of dunking, I suggest milk but also warm beverages such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate... and I suppose in the way of meeting in the middle I would suggest hot apple cider. Also I'm pretty sure milk isn't just for oreos or the rip-off's thereof. That's down right ...cookiest. I say all cookies have their right to milky goodness, or previously mentioned beverages. As for your cold apple juice dunking aproach, I'll give it a try the next time I have chocolate chip cookies that are not soft. Perhaps even if they are soft...
I must say when it comes to drinking hot beverages? Why that is a whole 'nother story! Why I'd have to do a whole different post on that. I mean what types of tea, with what cookies...and don't get me started on the all amazing Tim-Tam Slams....(you must have heard of them?).
One word of caution though, with the apple/cookie technique, you must be leary of soft cookies falling into the juice. That just gets icky, no one wants...crumbs in their juice ;).
I guess I don't know enough, if anything, about cookie/drink etiquette. You'll have to inform me all about it, when you feel like it some day. I'd like to know.
You seem to be quite the expert in cookie-dunking. Now, first of all, I'd have to say you're completely wrong in assuming milk is only fit for Oreo cookies (and knock-offs). Perhaps this is the case with your dry cookies, but definitely not with all cookies. I happen to enjoy a warm chocolate chip cookie in a nice, cold cup of milk. Granted, dry cookies may go better with apple juice, and I will definitely try this out asap, but don't go assuming milk is exclusively for Oreo cookies.
Also, on the topic of hot drinks, I totally agree with you. I haven't tried many things other than hot milk or hot chocolate. However, I have had my share of Tim Tam Slams. They are quite possibly the most delicious chocolate biscuits, and even more possibly the most dippable treat ever created. When I first had them, they were only Available in Australia, and my dad brought some back from a business trip. Recently, however, they have been exporting them around the world, including the Superstore by my house. After hearing the news, I almost wet myself with excitement. Soon after, I heard about Tim Tam Slams, the only possible way to improve on the Tim Tam's original taste. I obviously tried this as soon as I could get my paws on the unfortunately-numbered set of Tim Tams. 11. It's a prime number. THANKS, ARNOTT! NOW I CAN NEVER SHARE TIM TAMS EQUALLY UNLESS THERE ARE 11 PEOPLE PRESENT! Anyways, it took a couple tries to get the hang of it, but ever since then, I've been enjoying delicious Tim Tam Slams fairly often, and in large quantities.
