Cookie Dolls

The children baked a batch of cookies and left them on the kitchen table overnight.

When the family had gone to bed, the Wooden Spoon People came out of their drawer to take a look around the kitchen.

"You're all very plain!" said one of the wooden spoons, as he stared hard at the cookies.

"You would look plain too if you only had two currants for eyes and half a cherry for a nose," sighed a cookie quite sadly.

"So sorry," the wooden spoon apologised. "I didn't mean to sound so rude."

And with that, he leapt back into the kitchen drawer, and rummaged until he found what he was looking for.

"May I introduce you to my friend the icing pump?" asked the wooden spoon, as the two came over to the astonished cookies. "He's the fellow you need!"

In no time at all, the wooden spoons grabbed mixing bowls and icing sugar and all kinds of pretty decorations.

The icing pump got busy and made every different pattern he could think of, with icing in all colours of the rainbow.

"We all look so beautiful," smiled a cookie who was covered in every shade of pink. "We look good enough to eat!".
