11yo Kathleen gets up early and makes cookies. She wants to have them ready in time to sell at her dad Tate's farm stand, and they are good, but they aren't perfect. So every day Kathleen changes her recipe a little bit - she wants the perfect cookie that everyone will buy. 

A darling story about perseverance and patience. Kaulitzki's illustrations are cute - I can't believe she made all those different cookie recipes a bit different in her illustrations too. Includes a cookie recipe (not her famous chocolate chip cookie - sigh) " Kathleen is white.
