Cookies!

There is no need to elaborate on what this is about =)

COOKIES!


Cupfuls of sugar
Butter heated soft
Add in an egg
Stir the mixture wet

Scoop in some flour
Make it nice and doughy 
Along to the sweetest bit,
Sprinkle in the chocolate chips

Now it’s time to use your hands
Comb your fingers through the dough,
Caking them in sticky mix
With sugary peaks on your fingertips.

Lick them clean, take a spoonful too.
Taste-test it, no harm in that!
But exercise some self-restraint,
Or you’ll have nothing left to bake.

Roll the dough into little balls,
Press each one gently with a fork.
In the hot oven, they must be placed
Set a timer and impatiently wait...

Warm sweet fragrant air
Wafts through the rooms.
Eyes bulge with anticipation
Mouth moistens in salivation

Timer finally trills at last
Oven mitts are at the ready
Take the steaming cookies out,
Imagine them crumbling in your mouth.

Tantalising golden tops
Glistening chocolate spots
Before they cool, munch one down
That’s what baking cookies is all about!!

Lol you may wanna double check a recipe for exact measurements and methods in case I'm wrong (I can never fully remember off by heart). But thank you I'm glad I made you feel that way :) cookies are yum.

[TheMalady]

Yup. That's totally correct. Haha, I learn by heart, though. You're very welcome! :)

your words just sent me off to a place in my mind I have been visiting with my little niece and nephew frequently of late. there is something magical especially for them at their age...3 and 6, but at 3 he still wants in there, knows he is going to get a chip. you know the business...you describe it so well. I only hope these same memories are sticking.

I gotta go....im hungry...tee hee hee
