Colin had found the secret cookies. He knew where all the hidden things were in the house, but the cookies were only nominally a secret. His mother bought things in bulk because it was cheaper, so at any time there might be as many as 20 boxes or bags of cookies in various storage areas. The secret cookies were the ones she liked the best. Colin also liked them best, peanut butter sandwich cookies shaped to look like peanuts which his mother dipped in chocolate when she had extra time, and packed away in Christmas cookie tins. He had found a stash of them at the bottom of the pantry, behind the cat food. He took three cookies, which he felt would hardly be noticed.
