Best Cookie Moments In ‘Empire’ In GIFs

Empire had an incredible year as a TV series, but if there was one character that truly broke out in 2015, it was the one and only Cookie Lyon. With her fabulous fashion sense and witty one-liners, it’s no wonder that Cookie became a household name in 2015. The role even scored actress Taraji P. Henson an Emmy nomination, a Golden Globe nomination, a Critics Choice Award, and a Fox holiday special with co-star Terrence Howard. How’s that for a banner year?

Let’s relive Cookie’s best moments with some awesome GIFs, because this is the Internet, after all.
