Negan’s Lucille Cookies by Theresa Spano: Fan Spotlight
By Nir Regev
Walking Dead fan Theresa Spano (@littleteesa) took a page out of Carol’s repertoire, baking her very own delicious Lucille cookies. Negan would be proud! Something for The Saviors to snack on this winter, you know?
UndeadWalking.com had an opportunity to interview the crafty chef of Twitter fame and get the gritty details for you prospective bakers out there.
UndeadWalking.com: The Lucille cookies share a playful ambience of fun and simplicity. A tasty treat that Walking Dead fans can bake right in time for Negan’s pick. Can you walk us through the process?
Theresa Spano: I bought ready made cookie dough, so no recipe to share. Little tip: I had to use the cookie cutter twice. Once before baking, and then once again as soon as they come out of the oven. They kind of lost shape and became too big once they were baked. Then decorate with chocolate icing, and BAM! Lucille cookies!
UD: What inspires you creatively about Negan?
Theresa: Negan. Hmm. How can you not be inspired creatively when you think of Negan? He’s a terrifying, powerful presence that can easily feed anyone’s nightmares. That alone is inspiration enough for me.
UD: How did you first start watching The Walking Dead, what was the main draw?
Theresa: My brother actually introduced me to the show via DVD for the first season. A zombie TV show? About survivors? Ok, I’ll give it a shot. Started watching during Season 2, and I’ve been here ever since. What hooked me is… Well, everything. It’s not just the storyline. It’s the actors, the special effects, the behind the scenes, the fandom, etc. Everything.
UD: What goes into making a fun dessert?
Theresa: I really believe that love is an actual ingredient when it comes to baking, and when you love The Walking Dead as much as I do, it’s easy to create something fun in the kitchen. Especially since I know all of the family members that watch it with me appreciate it, as well. These “Lucille” cookies were a no-brainer when I found out Negan was coming. I mean, how can you not think of Lucille when you think of Negan?
