dust pan cookiesA sweet and simple gift celebrating friendship, Dust Pan Cookies are easy to make and give.

Make or buy your favorite cookies. Break a few of them, and crush one or two to create cookie crumbs. Place the cookies and crumbs in a new dustpan, and wrap with clear food storage wrap.

Hint: a few pieces of strategically-placed cellophane tape stretches the food storage wrap to the back to create an attractive gift.

While baking you some cookies,
there was knocking at the door.
As I jumped up to answer it,
the pan fell to the floor.

I stood among the cookie crumbs
and wondered what to do.
The day was late, the time was short,
I had no gift for you.

I bent and swept the cookies up
into a small dustpan.
A friend like you, I told myself,
would surely understand.

The gifts that matter most in life
are those the heart does send.
With that in mind, I give to you
these cookies from a friend.
