Herb Cookie X Sparkling Cookie Novels & Stories

Caleb moved to her other side, quietly. “Hey,” I said, brushing a curl from her forehead. “We can’t today, but next time I’ll make cookies myself. Big ones. The kind that make ovens busy all through the day.” “Matcha cookies,” Elijah added, clearly proud of the fanciest word he knows. “And butter ones that melt fast.” Caleb leaned in. “And we have silly cups that whistle when you sip. Right, Mom?” “Right,” I said. “Custom whistling cups. Very rare.”

“Old houses settle. We will get through it together.” The near revelations continued to tease Lily without breaking through completely. She discovered an old bank statement in Mark’s desk showing a large cash withdrawal shortly after my disappearance. The amount matched what might have been needed for quicklime and other supplies. She stared at the paper for a long time before tucking it away. I tried to urge her toward the basement again causing the lights to flicker wildly overhead. Lily looked up her expression troubled but Mark called her name from downstairs needing help with his medication. The interruption pulled her away once more.

My voice is barely audible as I take another deep breath. A knock on the door snaps me out of my thoughts and I quickly jump up, "Come in." Hestia opens the door with a smile on her face and a plate full of cookies, "Wanna try some oatmeal chocolate cookies?" I raise an eyebrow, "Oatmeal chocolate?" She nods, "I don't like raisins so I replaced it with chocolate chips, want one?" I take one hesitantly as I, too, do not like raisins. I smell it and the sweet scent lifts my spirits, the first bite exploding with flavor.

"Please, eat it, ma'am. I know you like sweet things, so I made it extra sweet for you, ma'am." He turned to her, "I will get you a cup of coffee in the relaxation center." He bowed to her and left. Claire went to where he dropped the bag and opened it. She brought out a paper box from the paper bag and opened it to behold some cookies. They were different from the type he baked last night. These had shapes of moons, stars, diamonds, and everything was neatly decorated, telling of how gently Finn must have decorated them. Claire took a piece and with her butt resting on her table, she took a bite from it. It was sweet like Finn had said, and she suddenly found herself smiling with each bite

"Why ?! Don't you have a partner?" Ayumi laughed when Herb said, "I'm going to ask someone," when he admitted it. kaya naman pala! maybe it's her crush that she doesn't want to say or maybe it's her boyfriend! we continued to eat. it still became our usual vibe even though the two were rejected. Herb is still funny even though the joke isn't really funny! "Isn't the name of the chocolate cake called Lava, eh the name of the one coming out of the volcano is lava and when it's still inside it's molten. So the lava cake when it's not divided is Molten cake?"

Clara smiled at her excitement. “Is it like pancakes or something?” Cyra asked her, extremely curious to know everything. “Yes, you can make it as a pancake or muffin, muffins but I prefer them as cookies more. This way they came out more nutritious as well as tasty,” Cyra keenly heard her every word which doubled her excitement….but that excitement started vanishing as the time proceeded further and she watched her making those same exact looking cookies which she had seen and tasted before. But Cyra kept her mouth sealed.

“I’m a paying customer.” “He’s getting that to go, Spider,” Mirrie said, ignoring Shane completely. “No, he’s not, Spider.” Mac eyed the pastries piled up in front of him. “Wow. Those smell good. Fresh-baked?” “Yep,” Spider said. “I made ‘em myself this morning. You want something?” “Sure do,” Mac said. “Maybe a few croissants? And a blueberry muffin and… ummm, let’s see… those white chocolate chip cookies look amazing.” He glanced at Mirrie, remembering how much she loved sweet stuff. “Three of those.”

“Are you heading out?” “No? I came looking for you.” “I need to do another tray of these cookies,” she says. “I’m almost out up front, and they’re a popular seller.” “Cookies,” I say, pinning her with a look. “Cookies,” she replies. “Cranberry macadamia nut with white chocolate. You can try one when they come out of the oven if you want.” Autumn makes a show of evenly spacing each scoop of cookie dough, giving it all her focus like it’s the most important thing she’s ever done. She’s obviously trying to pretend everything is fine, acting cheerful and light, but she still won’t look at me.

Setting the tray down on the table between them, she took a cookie then lifted her glass for a sip of wine. “Really? Cookies and wine?” “Listen, separately, they’re both good,” Sparkle explained, waving her cookie at the plate, challenging him to join her. “But together, they’re… pure Heaven.” The cookies were good, Kaleb thought, reaching out to pick one up and bite in. All he’d had to do was close his eyes so he wasn’t faced with iced, sprinkled Santas and they were just cookies. “That’s good.” “Thanks.” Sparkle sat back in the chair.

It is. A sausage and cheese salad. Salt-crusted rack of lamb. And now, a raspberry and spiced rose meringue parfait with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup and thin honey biscuits on top. I pick one up and marvel at the design on it. It looks like a bouquet of flowers. "It's called a tirggel," Shawn informs me. "Traditionally, they're baked during Christmas with designs of old buildings, knights and horse-drawn carriages."
