Some parts have been highlighted to aid in answering the questions. Maya skipped excitedly into her grandma's cozy kitchen. The aroma of freshly baked cookies hung in the air, making her stomach rumble. Grandma, wearing her signature flour-dusted apron, smiled warmly. "Maya, my dear, just in time! I need your help decorating these chocolate chip cookies." Maya's heart sank. Decorating meant sprinkles, and sprinkles always ended up in her hair, much to her mother's dismay. "But Grandma," she pleaded, "can't we just eat them plain this time?" Grandma chuckled, her eyes twinkling. "Not these, Maya. These are special cookies for the annual bake sale at the community center tomorrow." Disappointment clouded Maya's face. Bake sale cookies meant no afternoon snack. Grandma, sensing her granddaughter's dejection, winked. "Tell you what," she said, "after we decorate, I'll let you choose one small, unfrosted cookie as a reward." Maya's spirits lifted. A plain cookie was better than none at all. The next morning, Maya woke up feeling famished. She raced to the kitchen, hoping to snag a sneak peek of the decorated cookies. But to her surprise, the plate was empty! Panic seized her. "Grandma!" she cried, rushing into the living room. "The cookies are gone!" Grandma, reading the newspaper, looked up calmly. "Don't worry, Maya. I took them to the bake sale early this morning." Relief washed over Maya. But then, a new thought struck her. "Wait, Grandma," she said, eyes widening, "what about my reward cookie?" Grandma's smile faltered for a moment. "Oh, dear," she mumbled, "it seems I might have...forgotten it at home." Maya's stomach twisted. No cookie? After all that anticipation? Suddenly, a mischievous glint appeared in Grandma's eyes. "But," she continued, "I do have an idea. There's a secret hiding place in the kitchen where I keep some extra treats. Can you find it, detective Maya?" With renewed enthusiasm, Maya embarked on a treasure hunt, searching every nook and cranny of the kitchen. Finally, she spotted a loose floorboard behind the pantry. Prying it open, she discovered a small, dusty box. Inside, nestled amongst old recipe cards, lay a single, unfrosted chocolate chip cookie. Maya grinned triumphantly.
