Drowning in Cookies

So, a few days ago, my friend on COLOURlovers created this palette that lit a spark of inspiration inside of me (and I never realized, until just now, how much it matches our blog layout's colour palette! weird.) He called it Drowning in Pudding:

So of course, I had to bake some cookies! I chose to alter a checkerboard cookie recipe and make it into my own creation.
1 strip dark chocolate cookie
1 strip milk chocolate cookie
1 strip caramel cookie (brushed with caramel)
1 strip french vanilla cookie
all decorated with blue, praline-flavored royal icing.

I am so pleased with the results. Not only do they look pretty, but they taste delicious, and they are 100% gluten free! Yay!
