If you’re a character on Empire and you’re within a two-foot radius of Cookie Lyon, better get some ice, because chances are, ya burnt. And if you have no idea what we’re talking about, what the hell have you been doing for these last few months?
In honor of tonight’s Season 1 finale of Empire, the show that is smashing records and leaving them in its wake, we’re paying tribute to the show’s breakout character — and our shade-throwing idol. Here are 23 times Cookie took the verbal burn and made it a veritable art form.
1. That time she had a pretty spot-on nickname for Anika
But that preference was laced with the kind of shade that could save the whole planet from unprecedented levels of sun exposure due to global warming. Basically, Cookie has the ability to provide a significant worldwide service.
13. When she made stuttering a language we wanted to learn
And we kinda wanted the two of them to end up in jail together so Cookie could show Camilla who’s boss. Cookie Is the New Orange Is the New Black, anyone?
19. That time we entertained the idea of Cookie being in charge of who goes up and who goes down
To be honest with you, if St. Peter turns out to be St. Cookie, it won’t at all surprise us. In fact, it would seem like a pretty logical job for Cookie.
20. When she pointed out Lucious’ growth

Well, it’s not at all surprising that a man would grow a vagina, given we know that Cookie was able to grow the largest balls ever seen on television.
