And now my mom’s not talking to me because I wouldn’t tell her who the cookies I’m making are for. Can you just chill? Regardless of who they’re for? Do I have to share every detail of every relationship I have with you?

I didnt want to tell her they were for Hermes because every time I talk to my parents about my religion I feel like a child playing at make believe, and sometimes I’m just too tired to feel belittled that day.

But anyway, half the batch is vanilla and half is a coffee chocolate, and they taste really good, so I’m hoping they stay true to recipe and keep their crisp shapes when they come out of the oven.
