It's Christmas Eve and Maddy is excited, because grandma Jane is not only spending the night, but she is going to make Christmas Cookies. Maddy who was five years old love's helping grandma bake. She and her parents looked forward to grandma's homemade cookies. Jane had a few special recipes’ that was passed down from five generations from her family.

How about those gingerbread cookies? They were made with real gingerbread and were shaped like a gingerbread man. The face and the outline of the cookies were decorated with red frosting. There were three dots of frosting down the middle resembling buttons on a shirt. Maddy could not wait to have her first gingerbread cookie.

The sugar cookies were everybody’s favorite. One of the batches of cookies was a Christmas tree cookie with green frosting and sprinkles that were suppose to represent Christmas decorations. There was Santa shaped cookies with read and white frosting. The face of the Santa looked so real that it was to good to eat.

She also made star shaped cookies, some of them were red and some of them were green.

Grandma was a retired cake decorator. She had worked 30 years in a bakery. Christmas would not be the same without grandma and her special Christmas cookies.

I enjoyed where this was leading but I am a little confused if grandma is still alive? The last line made it appear as if she wasn't, but the first line made it seem as if she was coming to spend the night. Good job with the subject and keep writing.

I like the memories in this piece.

Just a few notes to help you out. The word "grandma" needs to be capitalized when referring to "Grandma Jane." Also you said "read" instead of "red" when describing the frosting color, but I'm sure that was just a mistake that you overlooked.

I would have loved to hear more about the grandma. She sounds like a great lady. Don't be afraid to use your full 750 word count to tell your story. Thank you for sharing, and keep on writing! :)

Maddy's Gandma sounds lovely.

You didn't need the commas in these two bits:-
"Maddy who was five years old love's helping grandma bake." and "Jane had a few special recipes'"
