Once upon a time, in the far away Kingdom of the Cookies, there was a magical cookie by the name of Ray. (Actually, there were a lot of magical cookies, but we’re focusing on Ray). Anyway, so the Kingdom of the Cookies practiced communism and believed that all cookies were equal. They were all made of the same cookie dough recipe, and no one was better-tasting than his/her neighbor. Then one day, another magical cookie named Chip discovered a magical portal at the bottom of a magical canyon that held an unlimited supply of magical chocolate (he really liked magical stuff). Having no idea what this magical (there it is again) black rock could be, Chip, of course, decided the best thing to do was to eat it. By the time he had returned to the town, splotches of chocolate had appeared all over his body, and suddenly his social status (determined by how good he tasted) skyrocketed. Since then, cookies like Chip have been known as “chocolate chip cookies”. Suddenly, everyone wanted to be a chocolate chip cookie. Not all were able to accomplish this, however. Some cookies became sugar cookies or snickerdoodles or any one of these. Then, there was Ray. Sadly, no matter what he did, he couldn’t seem to move up in the newly created social ladder. The other cookies laughed at him and attacked him with grapes and oats. Overtime, the grapes dried and the oats became stuck to his cookie dough. Now when people reached into the cookie jar, everyone went for the chocolate chip cookies or sugar cookies or snickerdoodles, etc first. (It depended on who was picking the cookies) Ray, however, was always picked last.
And this is how the Oatmeal Raisin cookie was born.

Obviously, I am not a huge fan of oatmeal raisin cookies. In fact, they’re probably one of my biggest disappointments in life. Just picture this: you have just came home from school after a long day. You see a plate full of the biggest cookies you have ever seen just waiting for you on the countertop. Mouth watering, you hear heavenly music playing as you slowly reach towards the plate. Hands trembling, you slowly bring the cookie to your mouth—only to bite down and find out that it’s actually oatmeal raisin. Your moment ruined, you shake your head in extreme disappointment and go on with life.
In all seriousness, some people really dislike oatmeal raisin cookies– myself included. In elementary school, when the teacher hands out those surveys titled “What’s your favorite cookie?”, oatmeal raisin always comes in last and chocolate chip always comes in first.
Always. Really. Have you ever seen a bar graph where the bar for oatmeal raisin was the highest?
In fact, today, I asked my friends about their opinion on cookies: “I hate oatmeal raisin cookies,” said one. “They taste bad.” Everyone agreed with her– except for this one anonymous person “I like oatmeal raisin cookies,” he stated. I’m pretty sure he’s the only one though. I mean, he thinks unicorns exist.
In conclusion, I think chocolate chip cookies are one of the best things in the world, second only to potato chips and french fries. Why would you eat dried grapes and oats on a cookie when you can have a chocolatey treat? If you like oatmeal raisin, I will stalk you and force-feed you chocolate chip cookies until you change your mind.
Believe me. I will find you.
DISCLAIMER: Haha no I won't but I really wanted to end this in a threat :D
