DM Baking Cookies

[This takes place not long after Gru adopts the girls]

It wasn't that long ago since Gru had adopted Margo, Edith and Agnes. He often wondered what he could do to be more like a proper dad. The sort of things a lot of dads did with their kids.

One day, however his chance came sooner than he'd hoped for. Margo and Agnes were outside playing a game of tag in the back garden. But Edith wasn't interested in what they were playing at all.

''Why don't you come and help me Edith?'' Gru suggested ''I'm making some cookies for pudding tonight''. ''Cool!'' Edith said. Gru helped her to wash her hands to make sure that they were nice and clean.

Then he helped Edith put on an apron. ''Fetch me a mixing bowl please Edith''. Gru instructed. Edith stood on a chair trying to reach for a bowl only to drop it on Kyle's head! That made him jump in surprise.

Gru groaned and sighed heavily. They sieved in flour [Edith nearly sieved some onto Kyle by accident, he scampered away just in the nick of time]. Edith helped Gru crack the eggs and take care not to let any of the shell get into the dough mixture by mistake.

Then they added and weighed the butter and sugar. 'Oh can we put these in as well?'' Edith begged holding a bag of chocolate chips. ''I don't see why not little keeton'' Gru replied.

When the dough was ready, Gru showed Edith how to roll it out flat with a rolling pin and cut it into different shapes using the cookie cutters.

Gru put the cookies in the oven and said ''While de cookies are baking, I want you to go upstairs and clean yourself up while I tidy thing up down here. You're covered in flour and there's baking dough on your hands''.

Edith quickly ran upstairs while Gru washed up and out everything away. When she had finished cleaning herself up, Edith went back downstairs only to find everyone even the minions enjoying the cookies she had made with Gru.

''Hey, leave some for me!'' she protested desperately. Luckily there were still some cookies left over. Everyone agreed that because Edith had helped Gru make them, they were the tastiest homemade cookies they had ever tasted.

''Maybe you should think of writing your own recipe book Edith'' Gru said smiling. ''Maybe yes'' Edith said thoughtfully ''Maybe I will''.
