Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

yes, i have been a terrible blogger lately. i missed thankful friday, but its because i had school, then spent four hours driving home, and finally got to play catchup with my wonderful mother who i hadnt seen in a month. thus, i apologize.

anyway, my weekend at home was wonderful and relaxing.  while i was there i visited my friend evan who is working on a wonderful project called "love still wins project" and decided to help him out.  last month i made (this) post about my wonderful friend carly.  her slogan was 'love wins' and since she took her own life in october 2010 it has been used in remembering her.  the 'love still wins project' is another fun way to remember carly and to inspire the world.  we have started playing love still wins stickers in beautiful places around our cities. here are some examples:

(this is evan and that is a love still wins sticker)

(spreading the love in all cities)

be on the lookout as i post my own pictures of the places i put my stickers. would you like to join and place stickers in your own town? you may not know carly but it is important for everyone to know that love always lasts and triumphs over all.
also, have i mentioned that school is kicking my tush? senior year of high school was amazing. senior year of college is ridiculously hard.  so hard that i spent my monday night baking cookies instead of doing homework. lets take a look shall we?

they are delicious! if youd like the recipe you can find it (here).
you can also use different cake flavors. they are all amazing.

hope you had an awesome monday.
