The Cookie Catastrophe “You could’ve gotten your father and I in very big trouble” my mother yelled as she was painfully staring at me in the airport coming back to Ohio. It was spring break in third grade and we spent time in Marco Island, Florida. Being a nine-year-old kid, I didn’t know any better. I usually inferred my actions didn’t count. I was invincible. Well guess what, I wasn’t. During spring break, my family and I visited at the Marriott Hotel and Resort. In the hotel, there was a cafe. While snacking at the cafe every morning, I had been eyeing this one cookie. Of course, whenever I questioned my mother if I could have the cookie, she would reply with “no”, or “you don’t need a cookie.” This made me furious whenever she …show more content…
With my sadness, she said no. This was the final straw and made me very upset. I lingered until she was checking out at the register to place the cookie in my dress. While I was sneaking the cookie in my dress, there was a 20 year old worker who was sweeping. She watched me the entire time. However, she decided not to say anything or speak to anyone. This was more of a blessing then winning at Candy Land. While driving to the airport, we stopped at Mcdonalds for lunch. We decided to purchase our lunch, and take it to go. I decided to devour the cookie after eating our lunch, this would be easier to sneak it while my mom wasn’t looking. The cookie was a piece of art. The hard shell on the outside, and the gooeyness on the inside, even the chocolate chips dancing in my mouth. I could taste the heart and soul put into this cookie. While eating this heavenly dessert, my mother looked back to check on me and my sister. There she saw what I had done. Her face grew as red as my Mcdonalds happy meal box. She questioned in a furious tone, “Did you steal this cookie?” Now me being my nine-year-old self, I just froze, not knowing what to say, it was like staring in the eyes of medusa. There realizing that the cookie was stolen by me, my mother captured the cookie from me and finished it off. She chewed the piece of art. She devoured the amazing

Madelyn McQueen - Twin Falls Idaho Have you ever wondered how the delicious, classic treat came to be? Well, any event you can think of after the date of 1938, the cookie was bound to be there. Several stories about how the country’s favorite baked good came to be, have been spread and believed by thousands. For example, Ruth Wakefield unexpectedly ran out of nuts for a regular ice-cream cookie recipe and, in desperation, replaced them with chunks chopped out of a bar of Nestle bittersweet chocolate. Another story is said that the vibrations from an industrial mixer caused chocolate stored on a shelf in the Toll House kitchen to fall into a bowl of cookie dough as it was being mixed. Sadly, all of these stories are false, says Carolyn Wyman in her recently published “Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book.” In her book, Wyman offers a more believable version of how the cookie came to be. Wyman argues, that Ruth Wakefield, who had a degree in household arts and a reputation for perfectionism, would not have allowed her restaurant, which was famed for its desserts, to run out of such
In 2006, the classic television show Sesame Street decided to change one of their fan favorite character’s, the Cookie Monster. During this time childhood obesity was a hot topic. The creators of Sesame Street spoke strongly against obesity and saw it as their duty to promote fighting against it by slowly morphing Cookie Monster in to a Veggie Monster. The decision was met with immediate outrage and many felt that changing a beloved American cultural icon was sacrilegious.
Chocolate chip cookies are a truly remarkable treat. In the cookie-baking process, little balls of wet dough are transformed into a crispy, brown and delicious treat. Baking the perfect batch of cookies is not easy. Morphing cookies from dough to deliciousness is a difficult process that takes a lot of time and preparation. Don’t be embarrassed if you have ever baked a terrible batch of cookies that wasn’t quite what you were expecting. Making a perfect batch is a task that takes some practice; your cookies could have turned out too flat, too burnt, or maybe too thick. It is hard to bake that perfect chocolate chip cookie that crunches vaguely here and there, oozing a chocolaty goodness, with a spot-on combination of salty, buttery and sweet. Playing around with the ingredients can tweak and engineer the ideal chocolate chip cookie for you, making it chewier, fluffier, or thinner. Even though you may not be the finest in the kitchen, if you keep reading you will discover all of the secrets to transforming slimy dough, to crisp, chewy, deliciousness.

My mother, I felt, was not to be trusted. She was kinder than my father and more easily fooled, but you could not depend on her, and the real reasons for the things that she said and did were not to be known. She loved me, and she sat up late at night making a dress of the difficult style I wanted, for me to wear when school started, but she was also my enemy. (272)
Esperanza's knowledge of what was a simple but depressing childhood fast forwarded in the vignette of “A Smart Cookie”. This vignette, shown towards the ending of the book explains parts of Esperanza's mother’s background. Her hardships in life and how she got to where she is today. As the two head towards the city, Esperanzas explains that “she doesn’t know which subway train to take to get downtown.” She says, “I hold her hand very tight while we wait for the right train to arrive.” (Cisneros, Page 90) The first piece of evidence shows that her mother is not familiar with the big city and subways and how to get around. A young woman going to Chicago from an usual surrounding is already frightening enough. Taking her young daughter along

"Tell Theresa you're sick," she would advise. And generally I did. But I didn't seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sue's house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.
My mother and older sister (Lili) had gotten in a fight about chores my mother had sprung up on Lili and expected her to finish before school. Lili, instead of taking a moment to breathe and
Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies Chocolate chip cookies are the best when they smell like heaven, look like a mound of glory, and melt in your mouth.

After half an hour of waiting for someone to call and my sister and dad to come home also thinking about what to do. I gave up and went to take a shower. When I came out, my bed was made and my mom called me down for breakfast, which I didn’t feel like having. I just drank a glass of orange juice. My mother went to the porch to sit. After a few seconds I decided to join her. Since I had nothing better to do at that moment, I asked her where my sister and dad had gone. All she said was “I don’t know”. I gu...
One beautiful day that summer, I was playing outside with my friends when my mom called for me to come home. I did not want to abandon my guard post at the neighbor's tree house so I decided to disregard her order. I figured that my parents would understand my delima and wouldn't mind if I stayed out for another two or three hours. Unfortunately, they had neglected to inform me that my grandparents had driven in from North Carolina, and we were supposed to go out for a nice dinner. When I finally returned, my father was furious. I had kept them from going to dinner, and he was simply not happy with me. "Go up to your room and don't even think about coming downstairs until I talk to you."
