Buzz buzz! Here is some fun "bee" trivia for you dorks crossword enthusiasts - did you know that the bee mascot of the New York Times Spelling Bee is canonically named - wait for it - "Beeatrice?" Golf claps all around. Yet another reason to send Sam Ezersky hate mail.
Anyway, this is a 64 word puzzle inspired by a bunch of good puzzles I solved lately that were, erm, "cookie-shaped." Like this lovely Trent Evans concoction from last week. Lots of pleasant repetitions in the clues and entries here, in a way I hope you'll find charming rather than irritating. Many thanks to Mollie and Daedalus for test solving this baby. Applet under the cut; enjoy.
Thanks for the shout out Quiara! This is a lovely puzzle and there are indeed many fun clues here like 22-across and 16-down. 10-across is crawling up my trees now and I'm bracing myself for what's to come. Thanks for a good one! -Trent
