sweet + salty cookies.

(this somehow got deleted from the blog? weird. here it is again in case you were wanting to make some cookies--like me!)

i have been holding out.
i have come across the best cookie recipe!
right after my sister-in-law had her baby,
a friend brought her these cookies.
and cookies, being my weakness,
so i had to try one.
and then shawn had to try one.
SORRY FOR EATING ALL YOUR COOKIES!
and then i had to get the recipe.
and i tweaked it, to maybe...
perfection.
i can already tell that these are going to be our go-to cookies this summer.
