The cookie trays at holidays abound,
Yet so few morsels meet our sweet desires.
An ancient practice, baking will confound
All bakers creativity inspires.
Endeavor not to knead a novel dough;
Look to the past to cast your cookie spell.
To wit, your baking wit you mustn’t show;
A grandma’s recipe will serve you well.
A baker great this truth she understands—
The wisdom her foremothers handed down:
A simple cookie made by humble hands—
Joy will abound as these are handed ‘round.
No personal touch add to your mixing bowl;
A pleasing taste must be your only goal.
