Costco had them on sale. I passed it about three different times while the circular was running. I agree they sound great, but I just don't think I need one.
However, I just rescued some overbaked gingerbread cookies and some old biscotti by making two batches of cookie butter. I ground the hard as rocks cookies in my food processor, but even with a new (free replacement) blade, it didn't really pulverize the cookies the way they are in commercial cookie butters. BTW, cookie butter is easy, cheap and makes great holiday gifts.
