Cookie Monster
In a typically searching investigative piece, the New York Times revealed one of the great mysteries: what's the deal with Cookie Monster's cookies?
It turns out they are edible. And here is what they are made of, according to the Times:
The recipe, roughly: Pancake mix, puffed rice, Grape-Nuts and instant coffee, with water in the mixture. The chocolate chips are made using hot glue sticks — essentially colored gobs of glue.
The cookies do not have oils, fats or sugars. Those would stain Cookie Monster. They’re edible, but barely.
