Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches
Today I sent out the bills at the office. I licked so many envelopes that I thought I would surely die the death of George Costanza's fiancée. You remember, from Seinfeld? No? Nevermind. All I'm saying is envelope glue is certainly not good nosh. So I knew I would have to eat something amazing when I got home to make up for it. I asked Tay what he wanted for his cookie jar, which has been sadly neglected of late, and he made a request for these.

As a side note, I took Bellie, Boots, and Cookie out for ice cream on Wednesday since it was such a gorgeous day, and I just have to say, ice cream cones are way more fun to play with when they have candy eyes.
This was a true story. (Aren't I artistic? I drew it myself. HA.)
