Cake Poll: Oops, Make that a Cookie Poll!
Thursday, August 28, 2008 
It's that unique time of year that summer starts to fade into early fall; the skies are a piercing blue, days are getting shorter, and school's back in session. Even those who are long out of school are not impervious to the allure of this season, nostalgically recalling the excitement newness of a new school year, punctuated by freshly sharpened pencils and maybe a brand new trapper keeper. And what else goes better with back to school time than milk and cookies at the end of the day?
And so, this month our Cake Poll is not about cake, but rather cookies--and the winner will get the framed original painting, featuring Cuppie and Robot making cookies, featured above! Responses may be entered in the comments section or emailed to jessieoleson@gmail.com.
The fine print: The poll will be closed at 2 p.m PST on Thursday, September 4 (we're leaving it open for a week since we hope many of you are avoiding your computers over the holiday weekend!). As usual, the winner will be chosen at random. Entries from the US and beyond are welcome. Your info will never be shared and these questions are solely motivated by our nosy spy tendencies. Of course, if you don't win, you can always buy Cakespy artwork and gear at jessieoleson.etsy.com!
- What is your favorite type of cookie?
- Oatmeal Cookies: With raisins, or chocolate chips?
- Dunking your cookies: Deliciousness, or a soggy mess?
- Slice n' bake cookies: Guilty pleasure, or never ever?
- Jumbo bakery cookies: too much, or just enough?
- Bar cookies: are they really cookies, or a different category entirely?
- Which is better: Slightly underbaked or slightly overbaked?
- Eating cookie dough: so wrong, or so right?

1. What is your favorite type of cookie? Fresh from the oven, totally homemade chocolate chip cookies.
2. Oatmeal Cookies: With raisins, or chocolate chips? With raisins please.
3. Dunking your cookies: Deliciousness, or a soggy mess? A soggy mess. They are great to DIP in milk, but I wouldn't want to drink them.
4. Slice n' bake cookies: Guilty pleasure, or never ever? I can't bake to save my life so they are more of a necessity in our home (ha ha). So I'd have to say "Guilty pleasure".
5. Jumbo bakery cookies: too much, or just enough? Too much for my kids, not too much for me and my husband (LOL).
6. Bar cookies: are they really cookies, or a different category entirely? A different category.
7. Which is better: Slightly underbaked or slightly overbaked? It depends on the cookie. But I'd say mostly slightly underbaked for the most part.
8. Eating cookie dough: so wrong, or so right? So wrong for my kids... so right for mom and dad. LOL!!!!
