Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... MAKING COOKIES This is Saturday, and Polly is very busy. She has been helping her mother all the morning. First she wiped the dishes, then she helped to dust the rooms. When the housework was all done, her mother said, "Now I must do some cooking. I must make some pies, some cake, and some cookies."
