Cookies complement a glass of milk the way a fine cheese complements a glass of wine or a Hot Pocket complements a glass of bitter tears. Dine on delectable dairy sponges with today's Groupon: for $7, you get six iced, shaped cookies or 12 regular cookies at Icing on the Cookie in Homewood (up to a $14.71 value, including tax).

At Icing on the Cookie, sweet-seekers can find tempting nibbles to suit all manner of seasonal, holiday, or everyday occasions. The shop's confectioners draw from an arsenal of 300 different dough-cutters to craft their colorful iced cutouts, inviting Groupon holders to mix and match from any two sugary silhouettes. Sweetly glazed dinos and dalmations make a perfect pastry pairing for a kids' birthday party; high heels and flip-flops prove that the quickest way to a shoe salesman's heart is through his stomach. In addition, deliciously standard-shaped regular non-iced cookies arrive in ten varieties ranging from such reliable classics as chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin, to exotic varieties such as ginger or white-chocolate macadamia nut, to specialty cookies such as the oatmeal scotchie, designed to pair well with haggis. Guests are welcome to choose up to three different flavors to compose one single dozen.
