Well, make delicious cookies of course!
Now, friends, don't ever say that I don't love you for these cookies--these simple-sounding delicious treasures--will blow your MIND! SERIOUSLY.
And not only do they taste out-of-this-world good, they look magazine-perfect...a feat I can never achieve!
Bottom line: it made me feel really good about myself even though I chose cookies over the gym. Uhh...mental health day?

i'm not much of a baker, but i'm totally trying these! i have a killer peanut butter cookie recipe, and i'll it with you if you want/if these aren't as good ;)
Um DEAL! I would take the recipe gladly even if this one changes your life! :)
(And Adam would thank you too! haha)
Impressive!! These don't use butter, so who needs the gym?! I'm trying them as soon as I replenish my peanut butter stash!!
Oh girl, you always know the right thing to say!
ALSO, after our fab McCoy's experience, I found a recipe for chocolate croissant bread puddings with high hopes of a future girls night and having A WHOLE PAN all to ourselves.
TOTAL FAILURE! I mean, Adam says it is pretty good but I disagree. Perhaps it's the lack of Baileys?...or maybe the lack of delicious brew. ;)
