Cookie Disaster
The smell of sugar, butter, and eggs surrounded me as I mixed ingredients into the large ruby red mixer. The sound of sugar rubbing against the metal mixing bowl filled the room. I saw the little white cloud come out of the mixer, as I poured in the flour. My grandma walked into the house, just as I started to scoop the cookie dough batter onto the baking sheets.
“Oh, those look amazing!” She exclaimed.
“Thanks!” I replied.
“Those are going to taste great!”
“I hope so, I have worked really hard on them!”
“Shout, when you finish the cookies.” She yelled while going upstairs.

“Thank you, Kate, my friends will love these!” she said as she took the plastic bag.

After my Grandma left, I closed the front door and cleaned up my mess. As I put the last bowl away, my parents walked in.
“Kate, we checked your grades, and we are so proud of you for getting them back up!” My Mom said.
“I think you have learned an important lesson,” my Dad said.
“Yes I have. School is most important, and I should work hard to keep my grades up,” I replied.

Hey Grandma! How did the book club go?”

I basically could have not made my cookies taste as good as hers, and that is because even if I used the same ingredients as her, she may have mixed them a different way, and that is why it never came out the way that she made

    I was unhappy to find that the dry, crumbly texture of the cookie left my mouth covered in a flour-like-powder after thanking my first bite. There was crystals of sugar covering the lower surface of the cookie, which also caused an distasteful crunch. When my dad bit into the cookie, it fell apart into crumbs which landed all over is lap as he furiously exclaimed, “What a mess!” The cookie had huge chunks of chocolate throughout, which made the overwhelming majority of every bite chocolate. Perhaps that the lack of cookie dough in the cookie caused both of these issues(the unpleasant texture and the unbalanced ratio of cookie to chocolate).
