they really are that good

Little Gem, or Sucrine, is a small lettuce often described as 'a combination of Butter and Romaine'. It is crisp, like Romaine, and sweet, like Butter, but the texture and the flavor are still its own. While Romaine has a heavy very crunchy central stalk and thin crisp leaves, classic Little Gem has a thinner stalk and thicker leaves which seem juicier and more substantial than any part of Romaine, and are more uniformly crisp. Butter is similarly substantial, but uniformly soft. Butter has a slightly mineral taste with hints of apple, and can have a forward sweetness, while Little Gem tends toward a nutty flavor - walnut in particular - and a sweetness that is more reserved.

I'd prefer to judge for myself whether these so-called "perfect" cookies really are. So, I'll be expecting samples.
Yeah, maybe we can make them at Christmas. I've only tried them stale, and while they were pretty, they were stale.
Now please post your pumpkin pie.
Stale. Bleh. I do love cookies, though, and so does Critter. And so does the Coach!
