''Mama, can we make cookies?''
Rebekah looked up from her magazine as her eight years old daughter and seven years old niece plopped on the both sides of her on the couch. They both looked at her with pleading eyes as the Danish nation sighed and closed the magazine. She couldn't really say no to those two, could she. It happened every time Lena and Anniken were together and wanted something. Like this time they started a muffin fight in the kitchen. All the cupcakes Roderich had baked (because he was bored) were gone in five minutes, icing covering the walls, and the three females' hair and faces. No need to say that the Austrian wasn't very happy after this accident.
'' ... Do we have to?'' she asked, knowing her awful baking, or cooking in general, skills and Anniken's ability to make messes. She was sure that the kitchen will be covered in chocolate, flour and other ingredients, three seconds after they enter it. But seeing the puppy eyes they were giving her, the Dane got up, heading to the kitchen. ''Fine .. we are making cookies.''
Anniken cheered quetly and quickly skipped after her mother, dragging poor Lena after her. Rebekah took out a big bowl, setting it on the kitchen counter (this was a different kitchen counter, luckily), quickly making the mix for the cookies and looked at the girls. ''So ... what are we going to add in them?''
''Blueberries? I like blueberries. And also raspberries. '' grinned Lena, taking the listed fruits out of the fridge and adding them into the bowl.
''Chocolate.'' Anniken started breaking the block of Swiss chocolate in her hands on pieces and adding it to the mix. '' ... And orange.''
'' .. Can we add glitter to it, frænka Bekah?'' Rebekah raised a brow at the German-Icelandic girl.
''Why glitter?''
''Because glitter is shiny and makes everything look pretty.'' The Dane only nodded as Elíná's daughter put glitter in the bowl.
''Some nuts will make them crispy and more yummy.''
''Já, and some salt so they won't be so sweet.''
'' .. Anniken, I see you. You are not putting glue in the mix. It will make the cookies sticky.''
''Crayons will make them colourful. And some flowers.''
''As long as you don't touch my red clovers ..''
''Our cookies are perfect, aren't they, Mutti?'' Rebekah nodded, grinning as she looked at the fresh baked batch of cookies. You could see dried petals from roses in them, glitter, paper, rocks, beads and many,many more things that shouldn't be added in cookies..
''Ja .. they are. Your father is going to love them.''
Making cookies is really fun. The result may not be eatable, but sure is fun. Enjoy making cookies with Anniken. Lena and Rebekah.
