53. A recipe

At the Super Bowl party last week, one of the guests asked for where I got my cookie recipe.  Simple, it is the an upcoming popular site called Pinterest.  There are so many delicious recipes that can be simple or complicated.  And here is my creation, which completes #53 on the bucket list!
