PLAY HOOKY

Have a cowboy cookie. What better way to make a Monday into a Funday than to stay home to bake sweetish delights. Sorry job, I needed a day to play. I'll be back with a vengeance tomorrow.

Cowboy Cookie Recipe, delish. They are a tantalizing taste bud sensory mixture of gewy chewy crunchy chocolaty goodness.
