'The Mother' Of All Cookie Recipes

'The Mother,' Lily, and her cookies!

Earlier this year, I started watching the show, How I Met Your Mother. Yeah I know, I'm late to the game. But hey, now I watch the reruns all the time, and I feel like I've been watching it forever! I seriously fell in love with the show.

Anyways, Monday was the first episode of the final season. (Cue the awws.) I know. Just when I get into the show, the last season starts. Despite that though, we finally see the 'Mother' play out in the show and interact with all the characters. She first interacts with Lily, and they have a moment where the 'Mother' shares her home made cookies. Those cookies are called "Sumbitches." Literally, that is what they both call them in the show. What an awesome name, right? It's a sweet combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel. I'm going to share the recipe that I found, so you can bake "Sumbitches" at home! Haha.

They are so good!
