Entry Title:
Chill Pills
Project Description:
This is a picture of the chill pills. They are cookies with melted chocolate, peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and graham crackers. It’s a recipe I invented (so it’s copyright and you can’t use this, unless you sell it for $10 each!). I took this picture because I wanted to share this treat. Whenever people try it, it makes you just want to chill. I took a picture, cropped it, and adjusted the lighting.
