Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food. They are very bite-sized and personal.
I think baking cookies is equal to Queen Victoria running an empire. There's no difference in how seriously you take the job, how seriously you approach your whole life.
All the things I used to like - cookies, ice cream, gumbo - I don't like anymore.
I usually travel with a posse. I roll deep. I travel like a rapper, but without the artillery. We don't carry guns, we carry cookies.
Christmas cookies can't help but be retro - they are memory first, sugar-flour-egg-redhot-gumdrop-sparkle reality second.
