One year when my brother and I were little, we made Christmas cookies with my grandmother. She bought all the stuff to make cookies. We had sprinkles, frosting and chocolate chips. We rolled out the dough and cut out Santas, elves, trees. We cooked them and waited for them to cool. It seem like it took forever. Finally, we got to decorated them. We mixed frosting together to make different colors. We added sprinkles and chocolate chip on them. We make faces and ornaments out of our cookies.

We fixed a box of cookies for my aunt and uncle. We wrapped it in pretty ribbon. We were excited about giving them a gift we made. Finally we got to eat all the rest of the cookies. They were good and we enjoyed making cookies with our grandmother.
