Although this pear cookie from Ladybird Bakery was devoid of any pear flavor, it was extremely delicious. It reminded me of cookies I had when I was a kid — a pretty short crust, with a shellac of sweet icing on the top. Plus, is it just me or do you see a famous image in this cookie? That’s right, I see Edvard Munch’s “Scream” in my pear cookie.
