The Force Awakens Party Extra Credit

Parties are great, amazing even, but what the complete opposite is, is missing a party for a hospital trip. None the less I still did my appropriate work and brought my delicious cookies to school as well as wore my costume from class to class, and even at the hospital. Even if I wasn't at the celebration I still had quite a journey in the preparation. I know what you are thinking... why would I prep for countless hours the night before for a party I wouldn't even attend? The proper response would be Because I care about my fellow class mates and feel that doing these preparations would being me closer to them but let us be blatantly honest, with the words "EXTRA CREDIT" posted on my AP lit paper, how could I resist. Though to be just as honest, I was hoping my cookies would make my friends and class smile and have a yummy in their tummy.

I was up for three hours the night before making the "Chewy Chewbacca Wookie Cookies" up until the point of my mom calling from the couch Kay, it's one in the morning, are you almost done so we can go to bed already? With all desperation I looked at my half decorated cookies and laughed nervously responding with the answer I knew she was hoping for, Yes, mom, I'm almost done while hastily spreading a chocolate sash across an oatmeal cookie. The recipe prep was easy enough and took about 2 hours over all, then baking was half an hour followed by an hour of decoration with melted chocolate sashes, chocolate chip eyes and candy bones fangs (Click Here for recipe I had used). Naming the cookies weren't that hard. I personally love alliteration it’s like a beautiful bowing of breath upon my body whenever I read it, and "Chewy Chewbacca" worked, paired up with "Wookie Cookie" for a poetic rhyming touch. As the cookies were adorned as Chewbacca, who is a Wookie, and as the cookies were chewy, the name just fit.

Also, a fun fact about me, I love baking almost as much as I love dressing up; for parties, for school, for Halloween, for no reason at all. So when provided a chance to do what I love for extra credit then of course I would do it. With my ruffled blonde hair and love for boots, jeans, and vests of course Han Solo was a perfect Choice. Complete with a double sash belt, knee high leather boots, tight dark jeans, tan long sleeve, a black vest and my dear companion Chewbacca himself, to which I had dressed up my sister's stuffed animal, my outfit was complete. It was comfortable, casual, and I looked out of this world. Even if I wasn't the star of the party I was the comet of the halls (And, yes, that was a school pride joke).

I am a upset that I missed the party but at least the preparation was fun.
