Cookies and the Cure for Rainy Day Blues

This past Wednesday was miserable. Not only was it a bad day, the weather decided to suck as well. High in the 40's and pouring rain all day... Not ideal for the end of March, let alone the day I chose to ride the bus back to Durham to see one of my best friends home on her spring break.

Because the weather was so dreary, I decided to cheer myself with a visit to the Campus Farmer's Market and the Cookie People. They make the biggest, chewiest cookies and I always like to get their 4 for $5 deal. My favorite so far is still the oatmeal raisin but the mexican hot chocolate cookie is a close second. And of course I still need to try the triple chocolate! Yum that looks incredible. But so does this right? It's a close up of my oatmeal raisin cookie that I took while sitting at the bus stop freezing to death.

I also took this opportunity to practice my photography skills because I was outside in natural light and even though it was overcast I think it actually worked out pretty well. On top is the peanut butter chocolate cookie with a Reese's Cup baked in to center. The middle is a Snickerdoodle and on the bottom of the stack is a Rootbeer Float cookie. I know it sounds strange and that is exactly why I bought it. It is surprisingly sweet and very similar to a soft ginger snap but the glaze packs a punch with the rootbeer flavor. Needless to say, my day went a lot better after this purchase. Even rain can't bring you down when you have homemade cookies to cheer you up and a mocha to warm your tummy!
