Lorna Doone Cookies

No. I don’t think so

Were they molested?

I can taste them in my mouth. Gross

Those are the cookies they LET you have when you're a hospital patient. Sweet, crunchy, bland - and nothing else.

I'm not sure that shortbread was ever popular with the kiddies but Trefoil shortbreads are still one of the Girl Scouts' bestsellers.

Smell them!

Is Lorna Doone the cookie equivalent of Werther’s Original?

Yes, I just bought a box today. I’m 51 so don’t know if I qualify as a member of today’s youth. But I pass for 26.

Never heard of them.

I prefer Lorna Luft cookies.

I think they're great as a neutral cookie, like water crackers are to crackers. The topping becomes the feature. Nutella, jam, cream cheese, fresh fruit, etc.

I can’t imagine these ever being popular with youths considering the old lady packaging design.

[quote]Are these still popular with today's youth?

They weren't even popular with the youth of the 1920s.

They're really popular over on the Let's Be an Antique Mall thread...

I need to frost mine with something creamy and sweet

Are these the cookies that only appear for one day every hundred years?

My grandmother would give me a couple of these in a little glass of milk to eat with a spoon. ADORED it -probably wouldn’t now. Have never seen a child eat them since.

They are two boxes for the price of one at CVS this week

Ya-UM

My brother called them "sand cookies" but I liked them.

r19 Is your brother French? The French call this type of cookie SABLE, which means 'sandy.' You can't find a simpler cookie: a fat + a sugar + a flour = good eats.

I buy them occasionally, they are good paired with juicy berries, such as blackberries or strawberries. Nice with tea or cocoa, less so with coffee.

I prefer Stella D’oro breakfast treats

It's a pity. They could be good, but are made of crap ingredients.

Everyone eats them in France and Switzerland and probably many countries. They are made with good flour and butter. The butter is not rancid like the Walkers sold in USA. The latter seem to be specially made of rancid butter for the cartons shipped to USA.

We're getting them back with our chlorinated chicken through Brexit, though! Huzzah!

New England WASPs love to offer half a Lorna Doone with a thimbleful of Old Sack Sherry as a delicious snack to famished guests.

I liked Lorna Doones as a kid. The MOST boring cookie EVA was Nilla Wafers.

LDs be lit yo

I love to put prune yogurt between two of them and eat them slowly while thinking of my late wife Agnes.

My WASP grandmother would offer us Nilla Wafers, when we were kids. I would have killed for Lorna Doone’s.

I used to love Lorna Doones, but haven't had them in many many years. Didn't know they still made them.

Will there be a rebranding movie tie in launching them as Lorna Dunes?

I love shortbread cookies, but they have to be made with butter, unlike LDs. The only thing I might consider using them for is as a crust base (instead of graham crackers) for a pie or bar cookies. Although I think Nilla wafers would be preferable for that purpose.

One of the characters in the novel CROWNED HEADS is named Lorna Doone. She first got boys in grade school interested in her by keeping a box of the cookies on her desk.

She’s an aging, down on her luck B movie star who goes to Mexico on vacation, and gets obsessed with a study, native hotel employee.

The movie FEDORA (1978) is based on a different section of the book.

How are the Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies? I like shortbread cookies.

The best supermarket shortbread cookies I was served had a blue (?) windmill on the packaging. But they were squiggly; they did not LOOK like windmills.

This was QUITE a while ago.

I usually stick to Walker’s if I’m buying shortbread. Much better than Lorna Doone’s.

Walkers and the Chessman lack the smooth, buttery taste of the Lornas.

*Chessmen, sorry.

Dean’s of Huntly is the best.

R37. Seriously??? Walkers is just made from flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Lorna Doone’s have no butter, and the ingredients are like a chemistry experiment.

I prefer the more exciting Liza Doone cookies.

When I was in the "hospital" one of our afternoon snacks was Lorna Doones and Guida's chocolate milk.

Liza Doone Ingredients:

Enriched Quaalade Flour, Schoybean Oil, Distilled Ethanol, Partially Honorary Tony Oil, Michael York, Schalt, Gay Husband Cum Syrup, Cocaine, Schoy Lecithin (E-mama-fier), Artificial Hip Flavor

^^^ Mmmmm. Tasty, R43!

😭.

Shortbread cookies with butter are BUTTER cookies.

Today's youth? How old are you, Gramps?

I’ve never had them. Are they better than Salerno?

I never thought much of Lorna Doones. My preferred shortbread cookie is Pecan Sandies.

Will every Pepperidge Farm cookie want their own thread after this one?

Idk, about today’s youth. Or even the youngsters, as Ed Sullivan would describe teenagers tuning in to see their rock and roll idols.

Love Lorna Doone AND Social Tea cookies.

I'm 50 and I never heard of them.

Are the cookies supposed to have some tie in with the book?

R15 my jizz is available

Those are real gay cookies.

Never heard of them, but they look like something that would be popular in Australia.

Boxing Day sounds like a perfect time to eat Lorna Doones

We endorse Lorna Doone Shortbreads!

Ugh, even before I spotted Mitt, the first thing that came to mind was “Damn Mormons!” How is it that even in a simple family picture they ooze Mormoness and what exactly is it, the smug self righteousness? “We don’t drink or swear, we don’t rat our hair, we get ill from one cigarette and we don’t imbibe in the devil’s caffeine!” If these cookies are their favorites, them I’m all for them meeting a speedy end.

This is my best thread ever

I want a shortbread cookie now.

Or 12.

For all their chemical makeup, I still like Lorna Doone cookies, although mainly as a last resort if such were needed. Pepperidge Farm has a new butter shortbread cookie out called "Dublin" and those are pretty tasty. For R34, I think Chessmen are worth buying at least once if you can to see what you think. They beat the shit out of Milano, that's for sure.

Michelle Duggar (far left), mother of 19, seems to inject creativity into her hair stylings. No, she's not Mormon; she's Independent Baptist. However, the point stands that a Godly woman can bear children in quick and constant succession and also pay attention to her looks and her hair.

The blonde Romney really lost out in the looks department.

What do the Romneys have to do with these polyester cookies?

Lorna

Doone

Shortbreads

Veddy veddy strange

I like them better because they aren't buttery, though I like the butter ones too.
