World Peace Cookies

World Peace Cookies // take a megabite

It’s November, and in my heart it was just summer. Because you see I learned a lot over the last few months. Like if you swim in a pool and don’t have time to wash your hair before work, bright lipstick will totes distract from the flipped out Dr. Seuss hairdo (hair-don’t). And did you know you can get a Dairy Queen blizzard in a waffle cone? And it was even more than a few months ago that I tried these cookies. I learned that they really do give you world peace.

You see, Nicole gave a few to me. And luckily I put them in my purse because on our way to dinner we were stopped by a train of doom that stopped for life. SO, in order to maintain world peace, I ate one of these cookies. I was mad about that train (since I’m pretty hungry most of the time). But honestly, I’m mostly just mad I didn’t make these sooner.

Oh! So these taste like a salted dark chocolate dream. They are crunchy and crispy and they’re Cindy’s fave, soooooo… they’re obvz good. They are even good dunked in Cocoa Pebble Pudding.

  1. You are definitely rocking the bold lip and I’m so glad these cookies were ready for that train emergency! They look great stacked on that pretty, pretty glass!

  2. alright, I gotta ask. are these REALLY not supposed to have any egg in them? I made them today and was at the end of the recipe and it had no binding, zip, zero. I added an egg on a whim because I was sitting here with this dry as hell cookie mix, not knowing what the heck I was going to do with it, and they’re turning out wonderfully! not exactly like the picture, but when are they? real talk, though: should there be an egg in this recipe? I’ll definitely be making them again my way.
