The kitchen hums with laughter and clinking pans as snow flurries swirl outside. A tray of cookies - golden, soft, and sugar-kissed - cool on the counter. Sticky fingers sneak one when no one’s looking, and the air fills with the comforting blend of warm vanilla, creamy butter, and sweet sugar crystals. It’s the scent of home, of childhood wonder, and of one more cookie before bedtime. 🍪
