“Chewy” by H.L Whitlock

Submitted to Contest #71

Chewy In the guiness world records, they list the largest cookie ever made by anyone as being made by a team of baker’s in Flat Rock, North California (USA of course, where else?) called the immaculate baking company, in 2003. They’d have to be immaculate to make a cookie that big without it crumbling or anything. They baked it to raise money for a museum they wanted to get built – somebody would pay for them to make the biggest cookie in the world, right? And the craziest thing is that it actually worked! They raised $20,000 and there w...

Meg's Crazy Cookie Project Suzanne Marsh Trinity, Texas 2000 "This meeting will now come to order. The first order of business on our agenda is the 4H horse barn. The horse barn desperately needs to be replaced, it is beyond hammer and nail repair it has been for several years now. Since no bank is willing to touch the repairs our only alternative is to raise one hundred thousand dollars for a new barn, that is not inclusive of labor and materials. Does anyone have any suggestions?" Meg thought for several minutes; she remembered reading abo...

“I am clearly saying that’s impossible to do and waste of time!” said Faith angrily, after a pause, Diya said, “Well, even the word impossible hides the word possible, see if we remove ‘im’ from possible, then its possible.

“Little something (I)” by DREW LANE

Submitted to Contest #71

This story is a sequel to Ay, de mi Lorona that you can find on my page.Erwin parked his bike in front of the shop where, like every morning, Ida was cleaning the vitrine with soap and water. His mouth opened to apologise for the late but, as Ida sighed without looking at him, he knew she wouldn't understand.The chime tinkled in the empty shop. Behind sheer glass, silver trays displayed rainbows of sweets, pralines and butter creams. The smell of bitter cocoa, basil meringues and glossy berries reminded him, each time, that pastry chef was t...

“The Gigantic, Awesome Cookie Contest” by Roger Crane

Submitted to Contest #71

The Gigantic, Awesome Cookie ContestThe whole town was involved this time. There had been many contests in the past, too many to count, and often many of the townspeople were part of the effort. The reason was simple enough: they were proud of their little town, one of the smallest in the smallest county of the state and not far from Kennebunkport. Sure, that town got all the attention, especially because of you-know-who, who called it home, but Salmon Plate was just as great a town, they all thought. They were very patriotic, and so when th...

“For Whom the Cookie Tolls” by Lavinia Hughes

FOR WHOM THE COOKIE TOLLS By Lavinia M. Hughes “Mom always liked you best, Nick! You’re such a goody-two-shoes. You’re so damned square, you’re practically Amish,” said Ray, Nick’s 20-year old elder brother. “Shut up, Ray-gun. Maybe if you’d get off your ass, she’d like you better,” retorted Nick. “I do plenty around here. Why, ever since Dad left for that floozy, I’ve taken out the rubbish every week,” said Ray. “O...

“Yes, We Can” by Joe Swanson

Submitted to Contest #71

Yes, We Can! “Any questions? If there are no questions, we shall begin. Do I have a nomination for Chairperson… no? If not, I will assume the position... I will preside over the meeting. Now…” He rambled on for a good half hour. It was difficult to hear, so I got only part of what he was saying. We were seated on bar stools around a pool table, that doubled as a meeting table. The plywood top, usually used to keep the hurricane winds outside where they belong, was placed over the felt to keep any acciden...

Nothing. “Okay, PLEASE hand me another bag of flour,” I said, this time with my palm up and my fingers wagging in anticipation. “Anna, that was the last bag,” said Layla, my best friend, and eighth-grade science partner. &n...

It was spring 2014 when i first realized that there is nothing impossible in this world.It took the wall of Jericho to be built in three days;I had to let out my dream of becoming the best chef out of the box,to smell the success.Men will always move around you with discouraging words -'that can't happen'.I couldn't let their words go through my ears; filling my mind with nasty dirts but I had to walk with my head straight up like a giraffe looking everywhere not to miss a single thing that passes infront of my eyes. The 'Guiness book of Rec...

“That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles” by Noah Cavazos

Submitted to Contest #71

"$500 to whoever bakes the largest cookie in town" I stared at the newspaper headline, unsure what to think about this. My friends and I were hanging out near one of the Starbucks in town. It was Victoria, Lauren, Isabel, Cas, and I. We discussed the possibility of entering this contest but didn't come to a consensus on the benefit of making the "largest cookie". "Think about it: it's fun, delicious, and a group activity to which we can know each other." Said Victoria as she expressed happiness with utmost care about the contest. "I don't k...
