Our verdict

The Slice & Bake Cookie Set is Melissa & Doug wooden play food: 12 sliceable cookies, 12 "vanilla" and "chocolate" toppings that attach with self-stick tabs, a wooden knife, a spatula, a cookie sheet and an oven mitt. The cookies store in a dough tube. Melissa & Doug lists it at $24.99 for ages 3 and older.

We could not read owner reviews on the Melissa & Doug page. The toppings can be swapped between cookies, which adds a decorating step to the slice-and-serve play.

It suits a play kitchen add-on or a stocking gift for a preschooler. Skip it if you want a full play food set; this covers cookies only. The maker notes the utensils are not for real food or real kitchen appliances.
