Ode to the Berger Cookie

Berger cookie:

How I love thee so!

You are a culinary dichotomy and delight!

The light, gentle perfection of a cake-like cookie.

I wonder:

How do you manage to support

the fudgy, chocolate decadence

which covers you like a blanket?

Nay, like a shield,

protecting you

from unsuspecting

would-be imbibers.

Alas! I know better

than to sit,

contemplating your perfection,
when I could be
sacrificing my waistline

to your ultimate purpose!

Savored!

In perfect accord

with a glass of milk!
