Cookies for the win

by SkinnyRunner on November 30, 2011

Everyone, calm themselves down and take a big fat chill pill. 

Hopefully we all know SR is just for entertainment, nothing more. So if you wanna talk about the injustice of CEO golden parachutes or the potential downfalls of Mike Leach coaching again, sorry, not happening here.  (Well, I guess we could talk about Tech…) 

I like to keep the lowest common denominator of dumb going on around these parts.  Starting with her…

111888

Yeah, I she talks about myself herself in the third person.  Guns up.

But the awesome thing about this global information sharing network thing is that there are 70 million blogs and counting!  You can find one just for you!  And if not, you can create one yourself!  It’s free!  for awhile…

So calm your crapper down and have a glass of holiday eggnog.

I’m off to a blogger/runner/friends cookie exchange party now.

I made these cookies from Allrecipes because they had the highest rating.  My mom makes these and calls them “Peanut Butter Kisses”.  Jaymo likes Reese’s so much he calls them “Peanut Butter French Kisses”.

The Snowman wanted in on the shoot.  I told him to get some lip plumping gloss and lay off the rouge.

Half of them look nice like a cup and half look flat like a pancake because I only have one 6-pack muffin tin (feel bad for me, I’ve got real problems!) so I used a cookie sheet for the rest and they fell flat faster than my best (stolen) jokes.

Oh well, it all looks the same eventually… if you catch my drift.  toodles noodles.

I’m sure JMo has mixed feelings about Leach coming to WSU, but all I can say is that I hope he’s worth all he money and that we win more than 9 football games in the next 4 years! It’s been pretty rough up here! Go Cougs! :)

Agreed. People are way to freakin sensitive.

Some of those comments shocked me, to be honest…. I know that i personally read your blog because it’s funny and you don’t take yourself (or anyone else) that seriously. Which is a beautiful thing. And also because I’m equally inappropriate. Being PC isn’t always where it’s at, homies.

Those cookies look good despite the lack of muffin tin. There IS Chocolate there. That IS what is important.

Sarah November 30, 2011 at 5:37 pm

I have made these! My husband loves them!

Nicole Nolen November 30, 2011 at 5:40 pm

Seriously! Some of those comments had me literally saying out loud ‘are you for real?!’ and ‘seriously?’ and maybe a ‘whaaaat?’ or two!

Can I just say that those cookies are some of my favorite (yes I have many favs), and they look absolutely delish! So your blog is great, and one of the many reasons I read it everyday is because it’s not serious. It’s fun and entertaining. Sometimes you just need a good laugh, especially with all this seriousness going on in the world. My husband is an active duty US Marine currently away on his 4th deployment, so trust me when I say…a good laugh keeps me sane! Keep on bloggin girl. Do what you do!

Eat cookies and muse away! Oh and I LOVE margarita shot bloks. Pretty much any flavor blok I love. I wish I could stomach gu’s because they are easier to smuggle in my hot fuel belt/fanny pack. But I gag on them.

SR – big fan of the blog, but I actually never read the comments, happened to check them out for your last post. People are crazy! Please, please don’t change… If I have a “don’t-feel-like-working-out-lazy-day,” I read your intense mileage and get my butt to the gym. I also appreciate the laughs. Thank you!!

sarah (the tech/a&m one) December 1, 2011 at 10:45 am

ditto.
I also find it way amusing that people are quick to judge you for commenting about someone’s being overweight… yet they are committed to reading a blog called “skinny”runner.
Bunch o’ hypocrites!

Reply

Alicia November 30, 2011 at 6:09 pm

Amen to that! I love your blog and the way you write. I appreciate that you write the way YOU want.

Also, could you please send a package of those cookies up to Sonoma? Thanks a bunch! :)

Megan November 30, 2011 at 6:12 pm

adding the french sounds so much better.. those look finger lickin’ good! I’ve got a cookie swap to do with my moms.. I’ll have to tell her about this one ;)

Reply

Sara November 30, 2011 at 6:17 pm

Maybe don’t drink the eggnog b/c then you’ll get fat and SR will tell you she liked you better skinny. Ha! See what I did there? A joke!

Signed, probably your fattest fan. ;)

I am going to try these~! My daughter’s best friend is a Reese’s so it is going to be a great surprise … dumb question … I know that you keep the wrapper I guess so that they don’t loose their shape, however doesn’t it make for messy eating?

Jackie November 30, 2011 at 6:57 pm

You’re the best SR! I look forward to your posts everyday !!!! I like everyone i know skinnier so I will never be offended lol

I’m gonna have to try those! You go SR, I love reading your blog!!

I freaking love your blog. I don’t always comment but I always read and sometimes it gets me through the day. I love that you are REAL and if people don’t like it then why the hell are they reading it.

Anywho I’m basically coming to Vegas to meet (stalk) you this weekend so lets hangout and eat cookies mmmk? Save one of those dam cookies for me. :)

kari @ Running Ricig November 30, 2011 at 7:15 pm

Totally cookies for the win.

Sarah November 30, 2011 at 7:31 pm

I missed the comment drama too and now have to go back and check. I love your blog, I’m never offended by anything you write, and someday I wish to be half the runner you are. And I wish Mike Leach had come to Maryland last year, but instead our AD thought it was too risky and now Maryland has the worst coach ever.

Jes Suazo November 30, 2011 at 8:16 pm

Love love love your blog. Keep it up. It’s very entertaining & keeps me laughing. :)

I may not always agree with everything that goes on but I will always still have my GUNS UP! Glad to see Leach back in action.

you better show us what cookies you grab in exchange. Maybe they’ll be spiked with eggnogg for a good old time.

I’ve just recently started following and think you’re a riot. Since I don’t know a lot about you the Tech comment threw me a for a real loop! (I live in Lubbock.. pity me please)…

Michelle December 1, 2011 at 3:55 am

personally i love your blog- i think its probably alot harder to do an entertaining , funny inspiring blog than people realise – (you just make it look easy cause you’re good at it)- there is alot of boring dribble out there ..keep up the good work

Katherine @ Neon Blonde Runner December 1, 2011 at 4:07 am

I don’t really care if other people are fat vs. skinny!

I just keep in shape myself because I want a long, healthy life and I’m happier when I’m fit.

As far as other people are concerned, I just want them to be happy too and I suppose some people are happy when they’re fat and eating all the food they want?

I envy your cookie swap. I tried this a few times and it fell very flat. And then I tried an ornament swap and that was a total disaster. No one came. So sad.

Liz December 1, 2011 at 5:08 am

I think we are all aware that most of what you say on this blog is in jest, however, I’m not sure YOU understand that a lot of what you say is also incredibly hurtful and just plain nasty. If you want to joke around, thats fine, you have every right to do that; its your blog. Just keep in mind that you do cross the line occasionally and it would be nice to see you acknowledge that. That being said, I do enjoy your blog and will continue to read. I just hope you realize that not everyone has as thick a skin as you do, and even jokes can hurt.

SkinnyRunner December 1, 2011 at 5:31 am

my apologies then to you. my intention is never to hurt feelings.

Jessica @ Running To Be Skinny December 1, 2011 at 5:09 am

Who’s giving you trouble SR? Let me at ‘em!! Of course it’s all in fun and you’re right on to say there’s a million other blogs out there…go find another! I made similar cookies last night for an event only with kisses and they were SO good. I really need to stop with the Christmas baking, I just don’t have the willpower to resist.

People need to get a sense of humor! Keep up the great blog SR!

SR I hope you never change. Your blog is hilarious (and inspiring to me as a new runner…)!

Preach sista, preach! Don’t change and don’t stop doing what you do! Honestly, I don’t know how these crazy fools have been following you and then end up offended. I love your humor and you’re inspirational. Keep on gettin it girl!

I’m really glad that Leach got another coaching job, I just wish he was still with us! The Red Raider’s performance this season was embarassing! I’m almost ashamed to wear my tech shirts and class ring….almost.

Those look delish! I usually just make peanut butter blossoms, but I must try those out soon!

chacha December 1, 2011 at 7:23 am

I don’t read for like a day and all hell breaks loose about an off-handed Jessica Simpson comment. Eehhhhhh. There are real injustices to get fired up about (like poverty, starving kids in Africa, homelessness, etc). Why waste energy white knighting Jessica Simpson.

Anyway, good seeing you last night! Those cookies are freaking dangerous. I might have to make my husband eat the two I brought home.

Haute Running Mama December 1, 2011 at 8:38 am

I missed out on the drama too. And cookies. Yesterday was not a win for me.

Interesting that you talked about Leach. I am a Coug and didn’t know who he was. I will have to read up on him. I just want to beat the Huskies and I will be happy. Enjoy your cookie exchange! I will have to check out the comments. Why are people so serious?

Carrie December 1, 2011 at 7:42 am

youre my favorite ever! i love reading your blog because you are so skinny!! ;)

Missy December 1, 2011 at 7:50 am

I’m always shocked at the people that feel they have a right to tell anyone what they can say on their own blog. I don’t get it.
Or worse yet, say that something they read about someone they never met hurt them in some way. Seriously? If something you read on someones blog hurts your feelings and it isn’t even directed at you, you really should have that looked at. That’s an issue that won’t get solved reading blogs.

Catie B. December 1, 2011 at 7:51 am

Ummm just checked that recipe and will be making those cookies this weekend. YUM.

April December 1, 2011 at 8:00 am

I didn’t understand all of those hate comments. Jessica Simpson makes millions of dollars off of US the public. So she can make money off of me but I can’t criticize her. That doesn’t add up to me.

Reply

Stephanie December 1, 2011 at 8:03 am

As a Coug, I’m stoked that Mike Leach is coaching again!! I heard the rumors swirling all season but I never thought we’d actually shell out the money for a big name coach. So the guy allegedly locked a concuss kid in a shed for a bit, what’s wrong with that?! (I hope people can sense the sarcasm here, but maybe not) What does JayMo think about this? Is he a Mike Leach hater or does he not care?

Reply

Lora @ Crazy Running Girl December 1, 2011 at 8:10 am

Man, I had to go back and read comments from yesterday’s post so I had an idea of what you are referencing and people are off their rockers. Geesh. It’s called humor, and apparently some people need more of it in their lives.

Reply

Nancy December 1, 2011 at 8:20 am

I too love your blog and your skinniness (is that a word, if not we’ll make it one)

My son will flip for these cookies.

Have a wonderful day.

Even though flat, those cookies look delicious. Have fun today!

Seriously people if Jessica Simpson is happy with her body then who the heck cares what anyone else has to say. With that said, I started reading your blog a year ago when I started running and I get so much advice and laughs from it. Keep doing what you do! SR and HRM are my sanity after a long day of work or when I need a break from the serious world I work in. :)

Reply

Heather December 1, 2011 at 11:44 am

I’m offended at your use of peanuts in those cookies. Don’t you know how many people are effected by peanut allergies? So inconsiderate.
