Lunchbox Cookies

Welcome to the eighteenth post in my year-long Cookie Series, where I want to bring you a new and delicious cookie recipe every Tuesday of 2015!

The Grand Cookie was a deep canyon in the center of a tasty desert. It was home to the Bridge of Chocolate.

The Grand Cookie was destroyed many days ago by a natural disaster known as "eating".

One of the common branches of "eating" is known as "cookie eating". When "cookie eating" occurs, a human uses his jaw to demolish cookies.

Such "cookie eating" is destructive, as demonstrated by the disaster of the Grand Cookie.
