My Ass Just Gained 5 Lbs Because of These

The cookies were a success.

(But really, did you expect anything less? I mean I am pretty much Chef Excellente and can do no wrong. Ha. Jokes. But really, not to toot my own horn or anything but I am pretty B.A. in the kitchen. Really. Believe it.)

Here’s some pics of the yummy deliciousness. And in case anyone’s wondering, I edited them on the cutest little website ever, Picnik. The site is super rad and totally free so if you haven’t already you should definitely check it out.

I actually made 15 more cookies after this picture was taken. I like to be extravagant. It makes me happy! :]
