C is for Cookiepedia: A Q&A with Brooklyn's Resident Cookie Monster, Stacy Adimando

Let me ask you this: is there a better way to eat the negative feelings you have about your stupid job and your stupid life than via a bag full of cookies to the face? 

Yes, there is: eating your feelings via a batch of delicious HOMEMADE cookies to the face.   

Luckily for you, Brooklyn writer Stacy Adimando breaks it all down in her newly-released book, The Cookiepedia.  We're talking 50 delicious recipes and enough food porn to put the Keebler Elves out of business forever. 

Read on for a ridiculous Q&A where Adimando humors my asinine questions and lets me Photoshop her very professional headshot in with the Cookie Monster.  If you make it all the way to the end without going to the store to buy a bag of Oreos, you'll have a chance to win a copy of The Cookiepedia for free.

Your feelings?  Eaten.  Your waistline?  Let's not talk about it.
