Valentine's Day: Why Cookies Are Better Than Roses or Chocolates

Ah, Valentine’s Day. A time for love, romance, and overpriced bouquets that wilt faster than your enthusiasm for a forced overpriced dinner reservation. But let’s be real: if you truly want to impress, ditch the clichés and go for something that actually sparks joy—cookies. Yes, cookies. The snack of the people. The MVP of desserts. The ultimate love language. Here’s why:

1. Cookies Are Made With Love (And Butter, Which Is Basically Love In Edible Form)
Unlike that sad heart-shaped box of mystery fillings, cookies require time, care, and, of course...butter. Butter is the foundation of happiness, the key to a successful relationship, and quite frankly, one of the few things that can make your eyes roll back and make you let out a sound that should probably be reserved for the bedroom.

2. They Don’t Die in Three Days (Or Ghost You After 3 Dates)
Roses are gorgeous—for about 72 hours. Then, they start drooping like your enthusiasm for Valentine’s Day prix fixe menus. Cookies, on the other hand, can be stored in an air tight container for a week, or wrapped and frozen for months and are always ready to be devoured and don’t require water—just milk (or coffee), which is a much better investment.

3. No Heart-Shaped Box Guesswork (Because Playing Chocolate Roulette Is Risky Business)
We’ve all been there. You take a bite, expecting caramel bliss, and instead, you’re ambushed by whatever the heck ‘strawberry nougat surprise’ is. With cookies, there’s no deception. No sneaky weird fillings. Just pure, unfiltered deliciousness in every bite.

4. Cookies Are Like Emotional Support Snacks (And That’s What Love Should Be, Too)
Flowers sit there, looking pretty but offering zero emotional support. Cookies, though? Cookies actively contribute to your happiness. They don’t just look good; they do good. They comfort, they delight, and if you’re lucky, they might even inspire an unexpected, butter-fueled declaration of love.

5. Butter. Again. Because It Deserves a Second Mention.
Seriously, just in case you weren’t paying attention: cookies are buttery, and butter is life. Nothing oozes romance like a golden, crispy, melt-in-your-mouth moment of bliss. Let’s face it—no one ever wrote poetry about margarine.

6. Cookies Are Meant to Be Shared (I Bet You've Never Shared A Rose With Anyone)
Ever tried breaking a rose in half and handing it to someone? Yeah, doesn’t work. But cookies? Cookies are the ultimate shareable treat. You break one in half, and suddenly you’re bonding over melty chocolate chips and buttery bliss. No one hoards cookies like they hoard chocolates, and that’s the kind of love we need more of—generous, joy-filled, milk-dipped love.

In Conclusion...You Can't Argue With The Facts (as much as that's a thing these days).
Ditch the wilting foliage, the questionable chocolates, and the overpriced dinner stress. Opt for cookies—the dessert that understands you. Because nothing says ‘You're my kinda snack’ like giving that 'Snack' a batch of buttery, dunkable perfection.
