The Cookie Monster

I decided to make cookies for my wonderful journalism class! 

Since I couldn't think of what kind of cookies to make I decided to make my World Famous Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. 

Yes, these cookies are World Famous, at least in my family. 

My mother and I created this recipe years ago and it's da bomb!

I originally wanted to make pumpkin donuts, but due to a family disagreement about me being the only kid in America who loves pumpkin I wasn't able to do so this time! 

(I WILL MAKE MY PUMPKIN DECADENCE ONE DAY!).  

Anyways back to the cookies, these were amazing and I'm so glad 

my whole class loved them (if you're one of my classmates reading

this I appreciate you being my taste tester).  

That's all for today's news on SSWU.
