Cooking cookie

This is a poor portrayal of Mom's utensils...but who can remember Mom cooking one cookie only at the beginning of her baking session.? Would probably make a good object lesson of some kind. She just came to my mind yesterday as I had altered the recipe (hmmm) and needed to find out if it were going to flatten too much. Flatten ...that brings to mind the mouse/mole I found under the mat when I was cleaning...Poor little thing squashed flatter than a pancake as they say.
