milk and cookies
Classic bedtime treat
Milk and cookies is a classic American pairing, especially associated with childhood snacks and the offering left out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
The combination suggests wholesome comfort and innocence: We left milk and cookies by the fireplace.
By extension, something described as milk and cookies is bland, safe, or family-friendly.
