Good idea to use cookies. I think this would be better with the focus on the whole cookie at the bottom left side. The frame is a bit too much and it seems like there is more on the right side than the left.
Fantastic use of low DOF. Would love to see this in colour, as can't decide whether or not I like the choice for b/w. In purely image terms, I do but in terms of conveying smell, I am not so sure.
I like how you've gotten close up to the cookies and yet still kept some depth to the image. Personally, I like the use of DOF used here, and I also like the tone. Very professional-looking image.
