Rhubarb Cookies

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

When I woke up this morning, I didn't have either post for my blog. Ahhh!

Cookies were made, pictures were taken, edited and uploaded, the recipe was written and now all I have left to do is write this introduction.

Now that I told you that, I have something written in my introduction. Did you see how I did that?

My introduction is almost done, I only have a little more to go...

Wait for it...

Done.
