Rothko Cookies

Confession. I had a print of a Mark Rothko print on my bedroom wall while in college. I was taking so many design and art history classes, and he just seemed very much like the intersection of the two. With that less than tawdry secret out there, I’m loving these Rothko-inspired cookies that Mimi O Chun masterminded. (via CMYBacon)
