Does anyone have some suggestions for some more 'literary' sort of books with cookies on them? The standard fare on that cookie list doesn't really appeal, a bit too fluffy looking.Maybe a juicy murder with a poisoned tea tray? :-)
Would these marshmallow teacakes? qualify. The OpenLibrary probably has that old fashioned cover that I can dig up.

I'm not sure if those are cookies, but the wafer things on the same plate look like cookies to me, so I think that will work.
Would this work? I think some of the iced things along the bottom edge qualify as cookies, and perhaps the things on the second tier of that stand, which could be macarons, maybe.

I think the ones on the table look like cookies. I loved this series, hope you enjoy it too :-)

Great, thank you.
Want to make sure this would work for Option 2 (that a fortune cookie works for this task):

Would you accept this as a cookie on the cover? The word "cookie" in the title is made of chocolate chip cookies.
Any suggestions for book 1? I have no books in my library with those publication years.
Agatha Christie had a few published in that time period; Georgette Heyer (on the romance side)
you can google books published in xx year and that will get you to a starting place

That's the one I'm planning to read as well. I added some lists above that may help. There are plenty of really good books/authors to choose from :-)
Will these work for option 2?
Cookies on the bottom tray
Thank you

I think the first one look more like cakes on the bottom tray than cookies, but the second book looks fine.
Louise wrote: "Does this work"Since the red things look like cookies with bites taken out, I think this cover will work.
Thank you, that's what I thought to 😊

This is a TWO BOOK task. The combined total of pages must be at least 500 pages.
I have been a Girl Scout for over 40 years. I started in 1st grade as a Brownie and worked my way up through the ranks, eventually becoming a troop leader and even working at the council level. One of my biggest memories of being a Girl Scout is the annual cookie sale.
The cookie sale is the major fundraiser for troops to raise funds for activities such as camping or even travel. My troop earned enough money to take a trip to Mexico, and let me tell you, That's a lot of cookies!
Girl Scout cookies have been around in many different forms, beginning in 1917 when a troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma sold home baked cookies in their school cafeteria as a service project. In 1933, Girl Scouts of Greater Philadelphia became the first council to sell commercially baked cookies. By 1937, more than 125 Girl Scout councils were holding cookie sales. The cookie sale soon became adopted nationally and now thousands of troops across the United States sell cookies every February.
Book 1: Read a book that was first published in 1917, 1933, or 1937.
Currently, there are only two licensed bakers for Girl Scout Cookies, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers. There are three mandatory cookie flavors: shortbread, peanut butter sandwich, and Thin Mints. The companies also offer 4 or 5 additional flavors that may change from year to year. Recently, they added a gluten-free option.
Book 2: Read a book with a cookie on the cover. You may use the list Cookies on the Cover for inspiration. The book does not have to be on the list - this is just to give you some ideas. REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.
