A high-calorie tradition that started in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks is still going strong at cnn's Washington HQ thanks to the sweet tooth of Larry King Live senior editorial producer Carol Buckland. Surrounded by harried and hungry colleagues covering 9/11, she decided to bake some brownies one day and has been hauling in the treats every Monday since. "Feeding people is a nurturing thing," says Buckland. The "Cookie Lady" says she bakes 10 dozen every weekend. "It's not really that much," she says. Oh, yes it is, say fans wowed that she bakes everything—except the favorite Rice Krispies treats—from scratch. Newsman Wolf Blitzer is her biggest fan: "If left unchecked, I could become a cookie monster."
