Adventures in Cookies

As you can see, I've recently had more adventures in cookies as I ride the rocky road to cookie-basket nirvana.

My cookies seem to be progressively getting better, at the least. And I joyfully learn little fun lessons along the way....for example, take great care with food coloring as it may drip and you may inadvertently step on it, and spread little red marks all over the floor and carpet as you walk this way and that...

I also eat cookies along the way...leaving a crumbly trail of broken hearts, legless stars, and bitemarked pumpkins in my wake.

Of course, I only do so in the name of research, seeking a stick-sturdy, low crumble, yet deliciously edible creation.
