Sugar Cookies

    The little filly climbed into the cuboard in an attempt to reach the mystery box. As she was waist deep into the storage container Nightlight wandered into the kitchen intent on getting a snack from the fridge. "Storytime what are you up to?" She questioned. "I found ah box!" Beamed the child from within the cuboard. "Oh did you? What kind of box is it?" Nightlight leaned in closer to see inside of the cuboard with the filly. With a loud gasp Storytime emerged from the cuboard holding a small, slightly dented red box of sugar cookies. "Can we make them!! Please!" Pleaded the wonderstruck filly. Nightlight thought for a moment before releasing a small giggle filled "Of coarse". 

    Storytime quickly placed the other boxes back in the cuboard and scampered over to her mother's side as she inspected the box. "Lets see...... Looks like we'll need some butter and an egg. Could you fetch them from the fridge?" she asked as she poured the dry mix into a large bowl. Storytime nodded vigorously and bounced over to the fridge. Grabbing two eggs and the butter at the same time she tryed to wander back over to the counter. She held the butter in on arm and the eggs in the other. In a struggled movement she tried to close the refridgerator door and dropped one of the eggs in the process. *KERSPLAT* as the egg shattered on the tiled floor. "OH NO! .......... I-I'm sorry..." Storytime stuttered as she looked frowningly at the mess she just made. Nightlight quickly turned at the noise of the dropped egg. Noticing the filly's efforts in the process. "It's ok Story, we only needed one egg for the cookies." She set the bowl of dry mix down and walked over to the goopy mess on the floor. With a smile Nightlight instructed Story. "Go ahead and put the butter and the egg on the counter. I'll go ahead and clean this up before we start." 

    With the mess cleaned up Night grabbed a stool and placed it next to the counter so that Storytime could help. Storytime crawled up the stool and planted herself at the edge, as close as she could get to the counter. Nightlight cautioned "Be careful, you don't want to end up like that egg do you?" Storytime quickly repositioned herself onto the stool properly and watched as Nightlight dumped a measurement of butter into the bowl of dry mix. Then with a swift wrist flick the egg joined it's friend butter. Storytime gasped in awe. "Woooooow!" Nightlight smiled at the filly's amazement. "Here why don't you stire this while I grab a few more things?" Storytimes eyes widened in excitment. "OK!" She grasped the spoon and slowly struggled to stir the mix. 

    Nightlight walked over to the fridge then the cuboard grabbing a few things here and there. Storytime continued to stir the mix as NightLight threw the other ingreidents into another medium sized bowl and began to stir along side Story. Confused, Storytime turned and watched as Nightlight went about stirring the other bowl. "What cha makin?" Nightlight hesitated for a second with her stirring. "Icing for our cookies. After they're done we get to decorate them." Now beaming with a smile Storytime went back to her stirring along side Nightlight. 

    Once the mix had been stirred completely Night took the cookie mix and arranged small blobs onto a cookie sheet. Storytime watched her fiddle with a few dials on the oven before placing the sheet into the oven. "There, now to put the icing in the fridge." Nightlight stated. "When are they gonna be done Mama?" Storytime questioned. Nightlight thought for a moment while glancing at the clock. "They should be done in about a half an hour." With a nod Storytime skipped off into the other room to read her books.
