The Stein's kitchen was a flurry of activity. Boris was mixing together cookie dough in two bowls, adding red food coloring to one. Bendy was rolling out pie crust and cutting it into little circles. The Butcher Gang were using cookie cutters to cut gingerbread and sugar cookies into all sorts of shapes and putting them on pans for when they could be put in the oven. Alice was at the stove, melting marshmallows and adding green food coloring. Linda was by Alice, keeping an eye on the toon angel and monitoring the cookies in the oven. She also had to keep Henry and Sammy from sneaking in to steal cookies.
"That's right nice and steady," Linda instructed as Alice mixed in the corn flakes with the melted marshmallows, taking the pot off the stove. "You want to make sure it's mixed well and you'll want to take it out and start forming it into wreaths as soon as you're done as it cools down and sets pretty quickly."
"Thanks, mom," Alice, following Linda's instructions and starting forming the wreaths on the wax paper that had been waiting ready.
"Good," Linda said before she went to check over the others. "Bendy, use less jam otherwise it will leak out the sides of the pie cookies when we bake them. And Boris, leave enough dough for those candy cane cookies!"
Bendy nodded and adjusted the amounts while Boris smiled sheepishly and began forming the white and red dough into candy cane shapes instead of eating. The Butcher Gang showed Linda their trays of cut cookie dough when she came to them.
"You did a great job," Linda praised, getting large smiles from the Butcher Gang. "Let's get those in the oven."
Linda took the trays from the Butcher Gang as the timer on the oven went off. She took the finished cookies out and put the new ones in. Alice started adding, little red candies to her wreaths while Boris reached for another pan to put his cookies on. While Boris was reaching, he accidentally bumped into Bendy who was adding more flour to his rolling pin. Being bumped into caused the little ink demon to spill flour on Edgar. The spider squeaked in surprise and annoyance at suddenly getting flour in his eye. Before Bendy had a chance to apologize, Edgar retaliated with by through some flour back at Bendy but ended up hitting Boris instead as his vision was still slightly blurry.
This ended up causing a flour war to break out, the toons having a free for all as they threw flour at everyone else. They all squeaked and giggled as each of them got large white splotches on different parts of their body, a large white cloud filling the kitchen.
"Alright, that's enough," Linda laughed, putting an end to the flour war. Linda herself was covered in flour along with the toons and Henry laughed at the sight when he came to see what happened. After pictures were taken and the kitchen cleaned, they finished up their baking. After that, the toons got to decorate all the cookies with all sorts of colored frosting, candy, and sprinkles. They had a lot of fun and lots of cookies were eaten, but there were still plenty. Linda divided up the cookies onto several plates and carefully wrapped them.
Once the plates were prepared, Linda and Henry lead the toons outside. They went to each of their neighbors to give them a cookie plate and to sing a Christmas carol. The toons did a lot more whistling than singing in their enthusiasm with Boris even going into a howl occasionally, but there was no denying their cheer. Their neighbors all laughed at the display and happily accepted the offered cookies.
Linda gave each of the toons one last cookie when they all got home as a reward for all their hard work. The rest of the cookies were then put away to be enjoyed over the next few days. The toons helped Linda clean up the kitchen one last time, happily chatting about how much fun they had and which cookie they decorated was their favorite. They all went to bed with smiles on their faces, eager for what other fun actives would come this Christmas season.
