C is for Cookie

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I hope that by now your week is off to a fabulous start.  I'm loving the fall weather and looking forward to the months ahead :)  Lately, I've been saying that I want a cookie literally everyday.  Really?  I'm too lazy to make an entire batch though and I wanted a quick and easy gluten-free cookie that didn't come out of a box.  So I've been putting off the cookie baking.  Then I had a thought... what if I made a small batch of cookies and froze most of them.... then if I wanted a cookie, I could just pull one out of the freezer, easy peasy style.  I wanted them to be a decent size, but not a monster size.  This continued for a few days but today I had the grand realization that I had these in the refrigerator...

So, of course this had to happen....
