The Cookie Jar Mission

My stomach let out a big phantom rumble, and I knew exactly what I needed: cookies! I climbed up onto a wooden kitchen stool and hopped onto the polished counter edge. Right past a ceramic mug sat a giant glass jar full of chocolate-striped cookies. The metal lid was screwed on tight, so I braced both feet against the smooth surface, wrapped my padded gloved hands around the round knob, and gave it one mighty twist! Pop! The lid broke free, releasing the richest buttery chocolate scent. I reached inside and snatched one big, crunchy cookie just in time for a late-night victory crunch!
