Introducing "the brandy"

For a while I've been contemplating the marriage of cupcakes and cookies and today the union became a reality!  Hallelujah!

My friend Brandy makes the best chocolate chip cookies.  She was nice enough to share with me the recipe so I have named the newest cupcake in honor of her.  Thanks, Brandy!

So, without further ado, I proudly give you........

"the brandy"
