National Dessert Day: Chocolate-Dipped Cookies
It’s been National Dessert Day today, and I happened to have a container of these chocolate-dipped cookies—sold under the name Dunk’ems. Not exactly the homemade kind, but something you’d find in the supermarket aisle on impulse.
They’re half chocolate chip cookie, half candy. The kind of dessert that doesn’t ask for ceremony, just a little attention under good light. My photograph isolates them against a pure black background, the turquoise bowl adding a note of color contrast. The result turns a familiar packaged dessert into something formal and deliberate—an image more about surface and texture than sweetness.
