Kosher cookies?!
Answers: I thought kosher food was only referring to meat until I saw "Hogan knows Best", when some of the Jewish neighbors said they can't eat the choc. chip cookies cause they weren't kosher. Can someone explain?
Kosher cookies and bars are often non-dairy so they can be eaten after festive meat meals...I hope that helps!

The explanation is rather long (I provided a link below). Here's a quick explanation from the article.
However, in our modern world of processed foods, it is difficult to know what ingredients are in your food and how they were processed, so it is helpful to have a rabbi examine the food and its processing and assure kosher consumers that the food is kosher.
Those cookies were either not made in a Kosher home and I don't think the Hogan's are Jewish or as stated above they were not examined by a rabbi.
Kosher food has three types:
1. Meat
2. Dairy
3. Parve (Pareve). - not-meat, not-dairy
All three of them have to be made earthier under Rabbi supervision or (in case of home made stuff, made from Kosher ingredients in Kosher house).
#1 and #2 could not ever be eaten together.
#3 could be eaten with #1 and #2.
So, in your question, choc. chip cookies could be very easy be not Kosher. Just because cookies are not-dairy, does not make them Kosher.
Did it help?
