Cookie Monster tip: You can make LOTS of dough at once and keep it in your freezer in a plastic bag (it will last a long time). Then whenever you make COOKIES, you just take out as much as you need.

Cookie Monster's Number Cookies recipe:

1. Have a grownup heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Put pastry cloth on table — sprinkle cloth with flour.
3. Roll out dough, about ¼ inch thick, on cloth.
4. Cut dough into strips.
5. Use strips of dough to make numbers from one to ten (1 - 10).
6. Put numbers on an ungreased cookie sheet and put in the oven. Have a grownup help you.
7. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly browned.
