It’s the last day of school and you need to bring something BIG to celebrate the beginning of summer. Sure, cupcakes would work, and no one would be mad about a batch of regular cookies. But is that how you really want to celebrate this momentous occasion? You need to pull out your best moves. Two words, my friend: cookie. Pie. This mall classic, peppered with the ultimate combo of mint and chocolate, is every bit as ridiculous and over the top as it is delicious and irresistible. The secret ingredient in these cookies is the milk powder, which brings an amazing depth of flavor. I guarantee everyone will want to sign your yearbook after they have a slice.
