Today, while the internet was down at work for literally the entire morning, I was pondering these Chai cookies I'd recently shown to my dear friend Elizabeth (they sound super delicious, okay?) and I decided that if our friendship were a cookie, we would be an Iced Chai Tea Cookie. (I renamed it from “frosted chai tea cookie”) – As if any real persuasion is necessary, here is why:
1) Iced chai tea is the most wonderful drink known to man. Hot chai is equally as wonderful. We are the most wonderful girls and friends known to man.
2) It is a cross between a cupcake and a cookie. Which to me says fluffy, warm, inviting, delicious, and soft. We are warm, inviting, and fluffy/soft in that we are approachable and loving.
3) It has icing. Chai Icing is sure to be the bomb. Clothes are like icing and we are stylish in our own ways and thus, the bomb(s).
4) This cookie is almost certainly sweet and cinnamon-ny and nutmeg-y and delicious. Chai Tea is one of the sweetest ties that bind us! (From our Joffrey's days, where I introduced her to the, now, infamous drink)
5) Like Iced Chai Tea Cookies, our friendship has depth. At first you taste the sweetness, but then you notice the many different delicious savory notes that give it it’s unique flavor.
6) Chai Tea is a gift from God. Our friendship is a gift from God!
7) Cookies are delicious. We both like cookies. This one seems pretty self-explanatory.
8) I can never have Chai without thinking of Elizabeth, and now I will never be able to see/eat these cookies without thinking of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and I really met when we became twins of our big, Ashley, in Sigma Phi Lambda, but I think the place where our friendship was really tested and grew was at sweet Joffrey's. I made her her very first Iced Chai Tea and started her training and she became PRO and now has coffee making skillz running through her veins. Now we're graduated and off in different states doing non-coffee jobs and the friendship forged in mid-morning rushes, and late night zyrtec filled Bible studies, and patience-teaching Senior Tuesdays, and yoga classes, and sweet retreats, and Gainesville trips, and parking garage heart-to-hearts, and Chai Tea dates is still ever so sweet. But with just enough deliciously subtle savory notes to give it depth and make it unique. ;)
You two are beautiful
