Cookies (or Baking Day)

Cookies (or Baking Day)

Every child just loves to eat,

A frosted sprinkled cookie treat,

“Today you all will help me make,”

“The cookie dough that we will bake!”

Class 101, “The Bakery”,

The bowls and pans, and cookery,

Ingredients are on our shelves,

We will become the cookie elves.

With flour, eggs and sugar, too,

We’ll stir and blend our cookie goo,

A touch more flour to make it right,

And, in one hour we’ll take a bite.

“They’re not quite cookies. No, not yet!”

“These dobs of dough on greased pan set,”

“Now in the oven they must be,”

“To brown just right in that degree.”

But, now they’re perfect and they’re done,

We’ll have our frosted, sprinkled fun,

And, when we eat we all will say,

“We love our Mom, and baking day!”
