ME WANT COO-KIE! Yum! Yummy! Yummers! Heidi Heckelbeck had cookies on her mind. She had just signed up for the Brewster Elementary cookie contest. Heidi had never entered a contest before. She wondered if she would win. She had won a raffle one time, but that had been super-easy. All she'd had to do was write her name on a strip of paper and stick it in a box with some other names. The prize had been a silver turtle necklace. Winning had been fun, and now, more than anything, Heidi wanted to win the school cookie contest. What kind of cookies should I make ? wondered Heidi. She could make oatmeal raisin, but raisins were kind of squishy and gross. Peanut butter cookies were good, but not her favorite. How about chocolate chunk ? Chocolate chunk would be a winner , thought Heidi. They were also her favorite. Heidi hopped onto a step stool and grabbed the family recipe box from the cupboard. She found the tab marked "Desserts" and thumbed through the recipes. "Aha!" said Heidi out loud. "Aha, what?" asked Heidi's mom as she walked into the kitchen. "I found our famous chocolate chunk cookie recipe," said Heidi. "I entered a cookie contest at school. It's this Saturday."
