THE COOKIE JAR

by Elsie Duncan Yale

You may talk about you vases,

Just how beautiful they are,

But to me there's nothing nicer

Than a well-filled cookie jar!

Ginger cookies, raisin cookies,

Some with walnuts, some with spice . . .

Orange cookies, chocolate cookies,

Why, I think they all are nice.

And that cookie jar of Mother's

Stands upon the pantry shelf;

When I'm hungry she will tell me

I may go and help myself.

Yes, I've seen some handsome vases,

Brought from near or brought from far . . .

But there's nothing that is prettier

Than a well-filled cookie jar!

1 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon lemon extract

4 cups flour

Directions

Mix butter and sugar, add eggs, cream, soda and extracts.
