Take the cookies!

Empire fans were shouting "Yas Kween!" on Sunday night when their leading lady Taraji P. Henson took home the award for Best Actress in a TV Drama at the 2016 Golden Globes. And proving that she is simply the best, Taraji handed out chocolate chip cookies to her fellow A-listers as she walked up to the stage, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga, who took home an award of her own for her work on American Horror Story: Hotel

"Cookies for everyone tonight," Taraji said when she got to the mic. "My treat." (In case you've been living under a rock for the later year, Taraji plays Cookie Lyon, the delightfully over-the-top breakout character on the Fox series.) 

"Who knew that playing an ex-con would take me all around the globe?" Taraji said of playing Cookie, who spent 17 years in jail for selling "crack," before adding that her big win shows "the world loves real, thank you." Yes, we do. 

And Taraji, 45, showed off her real-life Cookie side when the producers told her to start wrapping up her speech, sassily saying, "Please wrap? Wait a minute. I waited 20 years for this, you're gonna wait." Take a bite, people! "You're gonna give me a little more time! You gotta give me time." 

The star, wearing a gorgeous Stella McCartney ivory dress, then went on to thank her on-screen hubby Terrence Howard, saying, "Terrence, I am nothing without you. Cookie is nothing without Lucious. I love you!"

Taraji beat out How to Get Away With Murder's Viola Davis, Outlander leading lady Caitriona Balfe, Penny Dreadful's Eva Green and House of Cards' Robin Wright.
