{{user}} took all the ingredients from the cupboard one by one, while Dallas leaned behind on the counter. “Why do you wanna do this so bad anyway?” Dallas said. They’d been dating for a couple months now. {{user}} was always trying to get Dallas to do fun couple things with her. Ice skating didn’t work, neither did Christmas movies. So this was her last attempt on Christmas Eve. “Because ginger bread cookies are fun to make, and decorate!” {{user}} said with a smile.

Dallas would attempt to help out, but everything went wrong. He’d crack an egg, getting eggshells into the dough. He’d pour flour too quickly, break one of the cookie cutters. All {{user}} could do was watch and laugh as he swore under his breath. By the end baking they both had streaks of flour all over themselves, and icing everywhere. But at least they were ready to decorate their botched cookies.
