Baking Cookies

"Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world,

had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon

and then lay down on our blankets for a nap."

"Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food.

They are very bite-sized and personal."

-- Sandra Lee

Here is my foolproof, step by step guide for adding a little goodness to your day, or to the day of someone you love. It's as easy as 1,2,3:

Step 1: Make A Mess

Step 2: Bake Some Little Dough Blobs

Step 3: Eat The Cookies

"I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet, you know?"

-- Bobby Flay

Of course, if it is an emergency, you can skip steps 2 and 3 and just eat all of the dough. But then you might feel not-so-good, and that's not a good thing. It's definitely a risk you take when baking cookies. So I highly recommend following all of the steps.

There.

Now don't you feel just a little better?
