   These look dangerously like a copyright infringement of Eat 'n Park's Smiley cookies. (Eat 'n Park is a local chain based in Pittsburgh, it's where I spent most of my high school years)

   I'm sorry Drew, but those inferior cookies do NOT have chocolate hats. Clearly they are uninspired derivatives.

   Using frosting to make smiley faces on a cookie? They are claiming that that is their invention? There are cookies like that all over the country, I remember having them as a little kid in Salt Lake City.
   
   Look at these other cookies: :::link::: - the ones from the place that is getting sued. Sure, they look similar, but there is a reason, they're both based on the smily face: :::link::: which was created in 1963 and is in the public domain, and explicitly available for use by anyone. So that's where my cookie comes from, and your cookie too!
