For some, art is the ultimate expression of life. For others, that would be cookies.

For others still, the two are virtually the same. Take, for example, the people at Immaculate Baking Company. Spoils from their cookie sales go to help American folk artists create works that are simple yet imaginative.

Which, coincidentally, sounds a lot like the cookies themselves: buttery little lovelies like the super-rich Sweet Georgia Brownie, slightly spicy Pumpkin Gingerlies, chunky Apple Pie, Mojos (chocolate-covered biscotti), and the addictive Route 11 Potato Chip Cookies — vanilla and almond shortbread hit with salt for some solid sweet/savory action.

They’re worth scarfing down in their own right — and made even sweeter by the fact that they help a worthy cause.

Gotta love when that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
