"C" is for cookie that's good enough for me,

Oh! cookie, cookie, cookie starts with "C"!

Hey, You know what?

A round cookie with one bite out of it looks like a "C"

A round donut with one bite out of it also looks like a "C" but it is not as good as a cookie

Oh, and the moon sometimes looks like a "C" but you can't eat that So...

- Cookie Monster's Cookie Song

So, song aside...(sorry, couldn't resist!) I have some wonderful cookies recipes to share with thoes who care to ready and try them! I baked the Peanut Butter cookies some time last month for my hubby who requested them and absolutly LOVES them, so being a wonderful, I baked them for him and I did one up, as I baked some for his co-workers! I bet that was a wonderful suprise for them to come into work on a Friday and have some cookies waiting for them. (Hubby later came home and said that they were gone in a FLASH!)
