Muscle Cookie
COnly after diligently working Muscle Cookie's protein powder-infused dough for about three weeks does it finally start to develop that muscular flavor. Perhaps that long kneading and training process is exactly why this Cookie has a habit of throwing exercise equipment when angry. No worries, though. He cools of just about as quickly as he gets worked up!
