That's the way the cookie crumbles

Jim and Gen, buyers of awesome presents, outdid themselves once again by giving me an early birthday gift while we were staying. And here it is...


Yes, cake tins that allow me to make my own MASSIVE Oreo cookie. How can so much cool stuff exist in the world? And where do they find it?



The base ingredients - butter, chocolate and...that's it.



Look, it's Dana! She flew down especially from Seattle to help me bake the cake, and has decided to stay for a few days (living in her fully furnished and serviced city centre apartment, in walking distance from amazing restaurants, coffee shops, museums, etc., during the beautiful Seattle summer, has made her realise how much she misses University Village).



Now we're cooking on gas.



If you think these look impressive, wait until you see...



...the business side!



Liberally applying the vanilla creamy stuff.



Hannah gives the product a final, thorough quality check ("Does it have chocolate in? Yes? Fine.")



A monster cookie, after being attacked by three cookie monsters. Thank you Jim and Gen!
