The Cookie Caper
Yesterday, I made a batch of white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies. They were supposed to be for a meeting I was having today.
After they finished baking, I put the trays on the counter to cool. Then I walked away to do other things.
When I came back, fifteen minutes later, all the cookies on the trays were gone. My daughter stood nearby with a huge grin on her face. "Mom, I got hungry and ate all the cookies."
"You did not!" I said.
"I did!"
I looked around. There was not one cookie to be found.
I was ready to go ballistic. I did not have time to make another batch of cookies.
My daughter must've seen the rage in my eyes. She busted out laughing. She opened the cupboard under the sink and pulled out a container. "Don't worry. Your cookies are safe and sound. Right here!"
Ugh! That little trickster!

I'm also at Writers and Authors where a nice video review of Ten Zany Birds was posted. If you'd like to see it, please hop over!

That was sneaky! Could have been worse - Schultz could've found them.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been way worse! Schultz would've been sick if he had ingested all of those.
DeleteLoved to have seen your face. Great daughter you have,
ReplyDeleteYvonnne
She's a joker!
DeleteMy comment nearly matches Alex's. She should have blamed Schultz for being the cookie monster! :)
ReplyDeleteThat would have been funny!
DeleteWhen I was on the ship, we loved the cookies they baked there. My department head, especially, was crazy about them. He used to say, "There is no such thing as a bad cookie."
ReplyDeleteApparently, he didn't remember the disastrous "Grandpa's Toe" promotion from Famous Amos in 1994.
Haha! Now those were bad cookies!
DeleteI immediately thought Schultz myself!
ReplyDeleteSchultz would have been the logical culprit.
DeleteYou should bake cookies with nuts at my house. I won't touch them. I'm not allergic to nuts, but I have a sensitivity to them. Amazing that I get along with all the nutty bloggers.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Haha! Yes. Lots of nuts around here. I'm one of them. ;-)
DeleteAll cookies must be guarded. At least she didn't actually eat them all.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised she didn't eat them. Macadamia nut cookies are her favorite.
Deletehaha never let cookies out of your sight
ReplyDeleteI've learned my lesson!
DeleteI could just imagine now angry you were getting. Good thing she had good timing before your temper flared. I think cookies have to be closely guarded. D
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right about that!
DeleteThat would've been a lot of cookies for consumption. If someone was super hungry or stressed out, it could happen.
ReplyDeleteI think my daughter could have eaten at least half of them.
DeleteYour daughter is much nicer than I am. I probably would have eaten them all because those are some of my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'll bake you a batch. :-)
DeleteI do love a good prankster and it's best to start young. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe's been pranking me a while!
DeleteHahaha that's evil of her. :-D
ReplyDeleteThe cookies sound delicious.
They were good if I do say so myself.
DeleteLOL your daughter sounds like a girl after my own heart. I love pranks like this. Even though they are evil. :D
ReplyDeleteShe's pulled some good ones on me!
DeleteI was fooled too until I got to the end. I wondered what you'd do if your "trickster" daughter had eaten the cookies, Sherry. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd make her bake another batch and clean up the mess!
DeleteLeft to cool like this in our house the rat definitely would have eaten them. You see Mr T swears it isn't him but that he saw a big rat making off with whatever it is that HE is accused of eaten but hasn't.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Those rats can be tricky!
