The Cookie Song

Mix in a Bowl to the Tune of Clementine

Mix the butter with the sugar,
Stir it twenty times and then,
Add the flour--baking powder,
Add the salt, and stir again.

Add the egg and then the milk, and
Add vanilla, if you please,
Stir and scrunch well with your fingers
Till you work the dough with ease.

Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Sugar cookies--you are fun?
You will soon be in the oven,
In my tummy when you're done

Wash you hands and with a teaspoon
Round the dough on baking sheet
Flatten each round with damp fingers
Top with sugar for a treat.
