gym time, later undone by butter cookie sandwiches

You might find it odd-- sadistic-- even to have a blog post about cookies and working out but I'm doin' it. I have been hitting the gym a lot lately (5 out of 6 days!) and I'm not saying that to brag about it (ok, maybe a little) but mostly to say that my lack of a busy social life and trying to be more frugal is driving me to go to the gym. The gym is a great way to kill 1-2 hours without having to spend any money and for days when none of your friends have taken you up on your offer for happy hour. The big bonus is you really do feel great afterwards and you never regret going to the gym. I can't believe I am starting to like the gym.  No, that doesn't mean I am "addicted" to going to the gym or working out. I would never say that, plus I think it's a fake addiction. I think people are addicted to feeling good about themselves.

Now about the cookies...

I initially wanted to make Martha Stewart's Lemon Cookie Sandwiches but I didn't actually have any lemons and I didn't feel like making the lemon cream filling. Instead, what I made was essentially butter cookie sandwhiches, with pink frosting filling. I totally used store bought fluffy white icing I colored pink. The cookies turned out great. I used the exact cookie recipe Martha Stew used sans the lemon rinds.
