Katie Lynn clapped her hands. “Let’s go to it!”

After all of the cookies were baked, Katie Lynn called out, “Mom! Dad! It’s time for breakfast.” She poured four glasses of milk and set a platter of cookies in the center of the table.

“These cookies are amazing!” her father said, taking a bite. “They taste just like your grandmother’s.”

Mrs. Cooke took a bite of cookie and closed her eyes. “I agree one hundred percent, dear.”

Katie Lynn hoped her parents weren’t just being nice.

“Our turn!” said Tina.

Katie Lynn didn’t care if her mouth was full. “These are as good as Grandma’s, Dad! It’s a good thing we had the right secret ingredient!”

Outside, a car honked.

“Oh, no! That’s my parents! I better get dressed!” Tina cried. “I almost forgot. We’re going to Chesterfield’s for lunch.”

“Take some of the cookies with you,” Katie Lynn said. “They’re probably better than any dessert at Chesterfield’s.”

As Tina ran out the front door, Katie Lynn handed her a bag of cookies.

“I’ll call you later!” Tina shouted over her shoulder.

Katie Lynn watched Tina and her family drive away. She wished that she and her parents were going to Chesterfield’s for lunch, too. They had the best hamburgers in town.

When Katie Lynn returned to the kitchen, she found her parents still sitting at the kitchen table. But now the cookie platter was empty.

“What happened?” Katie Lynn cried.

Her parents looked embarrassed.

“We ate them,” her mother admitted.

“They were just so delicious, we couldn’t help ourselves,” her father added.
