Heaven made into a cookie?

Is it possible to have heaven made into a cookie?  I saw these Macarons today on the CakeJournal and they looked simply yummy.  I will have to invest into a new pastry bag to make these for my old one was pitched.

I have been inspired by Harry & David gift baskets.  Maybe I can learn how to cut cookie recipes into 1/8.  That way I can make only a few and have none left over for "samples".  It would be just enough for me to send an assortment to Austin.  But then again... the temptation is too great.  For I am one of those bakers that licks the spoon when I am done with it... or licks my fingers when I am done messing with it.  Sorry Austin, no goodies for you this deployment.

But why must I see such tasty treats when I found out yesterday that I lost 8 pounds since my last doctors appointment... and I found out today that I lost another pound!
