Continuing my series “cookies inspired by tv shows and movies,” I present the Planet Earth, Earth Day cookies! I originally shared these cookies on my Instagram a few days before Earth Day and they are perfect for that wonderful day.
I am obsessed with this planet of ours, and the show Planet Earth is such an incredible way to see every corner of it! I feel like Planet Earth is the most calming, inspiring show around. I love putting it on the tv on peaceful Sunday afternoons and it fits the vibes perfectly. The only thing that makes that experience better is these cookies!
Just like the Earth, these cookies are not flat! They are little half domes! We are not flat Earthers over here so these cookies reflect that, haha. And let’s talk about their taste! These cookies are SOFT and taste like the sugar cookies you buy at the grocery store! You know the tubes of cookie dough you wanted to eat the whole thing of as a kid? These taste like those cookies! So nostalgic and so good.
Please never forget to appreciate and honor our beautiful earth! And if you love these Planet Earth, Earth Day cookies, check out these other cookies in this series:
