Every year, Eleni's NYC cookie bakery puts out a series of Hollywood-themed cookies in honor of the Academy Awards. This year, for the 79th annual Oscars, Eleni's is offering four different sets of their signature cookies:
- Famous Hollywood Quotes - ($45)includes 9 sugar cookies with one director's slate, three Hollywood stars and five famous quotes: "Show me the money", "I see dead people", "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn", "Life is like a box of chocolates" and "Supercalifrajalisticexpialidocious"
- Best Actor– ($58.50) 16 cookies include 3 each of Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Peter O'Toole, Will Smith and Forest Whitaker and one sealed envelope cookie
- Best Actress – ($58.50) 16 cookies include 3 each of Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet, and another
- Best Picture – ($65) includes 18 cookies decorated with signature items from Babel, The Departed, Letters from Iwo Jima, Little Miss Sunshine and The Queen.
The cookies are hand-iced and have a remarkable amount of detail on each - to the point where it is almost difficult to eat them. Almost, of course, because once you bite into one and realize how tasty they are, you won't feel quite as bad about indulging in a few bites of the best picture nominee or your favorite "best actor" candidate.

I was, however, planning to do so while wearing gold lame, a tiara, and white gloves that came up to my elbows a la Audrey Hepburn. Which is likely not as freaky as biting into someone's head, even if that someone is an Oscar-nominee!
