Embrace 2020 145/365: damned good cookie

My mother-in-law has been doing the sweetest thing with the girls: choosing recipes and cooking them together via Facetime...a trifecta of staying connected to them, giving me time to work, and producing something for the family. Given my nutritional sensitivities, Laurel has been awesome in selecting dinners (vs. just all desserts) and ones that are gluten-free. Seriously, it's been so awesome. I have been tremendously grateful to eat awesome meals I did not cook!

So when the girls asked if they could do a treat for the next cooking section, I was like OF COURSE. I was prepared per usual to not partake in treats, but when I saw these gorgeous chocolate dipped Viennese finger sandwich cookies I was like, gluten and sugar sensitivities be damned, I am eating one cookie! It would be disrespectful to the baking craft and their efforts not to have a taste! And it was a damned good cookie. I savored every single bite.
