Acrochallenge!

Hello, lovers of letters. Welcome to another round of acromania.

What shall the topic be this week? How about cookies. I don't know, it just popped into my head. This is the time of year lots of offices have their annual cookie exchanges, where everyone makes a dozen cookies, brings them to work on a certain day, and they're divided up so everyone goes home with the same number of cookies they baked. In theory, this is good. In practice, not always so good. You can make a dozen or so really bitchin' cookies, but if there are some people in the exchange who make things like (as we called them that year in the TCIWF cookie exchange) Little Lemon Balls From Hell, then you've gotten yourself a serious case of the shaft.

But in the acro cookie exchange, we all know each other, and we're making imaginary cookies, so it'll all be fine. This week's acrotopic is, "What Kind Of Cookies Are You Making For The Exchange?" The fancier and more imaginative the name, the better the cookie.

All the other rules are the same. Everyone gets three entries to come up with the best acronym they can that not only matches the topic above, but also the letters below, which are randomly drawn from the acrobasket. The acrobasket is partial to Roasted Toasted Cocoaroons himself. Then tomorrow night at 10:00 est I shall be reading the entries and naming the winners.

The acrotopic? "What Kind Of Cookies Are You Making For The Exchange?" The letters:

So, don't delay. Acro today.

Betland's Olympic Update:
* I could go for a cookie, actually.

Oh, I'd rather have the little lemon balls from hell than eight million peanut butter/Hershey's Kisses cookies -- for some reason, everyone wimps out and makes those for every cookie exchange I've ever been to, and I come home with tons of them or just the regular pb cookies (PB, eggs, sugar, little flour, with the fork marks) and very little else. In my universe, peanut butter would be banned from the cookie exchange.
