A birthday without cookies? Absolutely not! We're baking mushrooms, stars, and Yoshi eggs. Do you have any idea what kind of cookies these will be? The birthday boy's favorite cookies are, and always will be, our basic vanilla cookies. All the better, because they're easy to make, everyone loves them, and this way we can spend a lot of time decorating. After all, the cookies have to be beautiful as well, for this special day!
