So why not figure out which cookie you should bake that best suits your personality based on your Zodiac sign? Trust me, this is pretty scientific stuff.

I'm currently a sophomore at Georgetown majoring in Art History. I'm from New Jersey and grew up in a family that taught me that cooking is more of an art than anything else. I've been spending more time learning family recipes and recently collected most of our recipes into a family cookbook. Needless to say, I'm a foodie.
