ONCE
upon a time,
there were a breed of turtles.
upon a time,
there were a breed of turtles.
turtle cookies actually.
in fact,
so they were put to the challenge.
til one day,
there came a certain hare into town.
he challenged one of them to a race.
and after that,
they began to fear if they would win,
but a young turtle with 2 small children volunteered.
yes, the kids were excited.
so they all set out to beat that darn hare.
and with that they did.
and they lived happily ever after.
(bet you already knew the ending didn't you?)
Oh, yummy...drooling here....so what's next? The rabbit? Love your stories, too, have I mentioned that? Great job, as usual, kiddo! thanks! Dona
ReplyDeletedon't think the rabbit will come out til easter cuz he lost the race! LOL these cookies actually came out cuz my hubby is WAY TOO HARD to go shopping for and he loves turtles, so i made these instead of buying them. great comment as usual Dona! :>D
DeleteSO adorable!! I love turtle cookies, but I love how these look like turtles as well. Too cute!! I would love for you to share this on my Sweet Tooth Tuesday blog link party.

ReplyDeleteBeth @ The First Year Blog
and YOU are awesome for coming by Beth! thank you :>D
DeleteOh my gosh! Those are ADORABLE!!!! I will have to make them!
ReplyDeleteYAY! one thing that may help the turtles get a better shape would be to refrigerate them or even freeze them for 10 minutes or so then stick it in the oven. i think my turtles were flat cuz the dough was warm from my hands and then sitting out a little bit when i baked them. i hope you do get to make them though Sara! thank you SO much! :>D
