Grandma's Cookies

I remember when I was a little girl, my "Nenaw" always had a package of M&Ms waiting for us when we got to her house. We couldn't wait to get there and go look in her drawer and sure enough, there were always M&Ms! Well, Daniel's Mom, Grandma, has started a similiar tradition with chocolate chip cookies. She always has homemade chocolate chip cookies waiting when they come to her house. Sometimes, she would even bring over personalized containers of homemade cookie dough for each child.

My Mom, Juju, has heard about these cookies. So, not to be outdone, she has tried her hand at the cookies. She made a big batch, and the girls didn't eat them. "Too crispy", they said. So, Juju made another batch. "Still not like Grandma's", they said. Juju is getting frustrated at this point. She is not about to let Grandma get the upper hand on the cookies. She made another batch, this time consulting Grandma. Finally, Abby said "So so so so close".

Hannah has been doing creative writing at school. She had a sheet that she used for brainstorming. One of her story ideas was about Grandma's cookies. I'm telling you, Grandma and cookies are synonomous at this house. Well, Grandma and Papa came to town today. And, wouldn't you know, Grandma and all 3 girls are in the kitchen making cookies.
