Red barn egg I cracked to make cookie (11)
I believe the answer is:
gingerbread
'make cookie' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'red barn egg i cracked' is the wordplay.
'cracked' is an anagram indicator.
'red'+'barn'+'egg'+'i'='redbarneggi'
'redbarneggi' anagrammed gives 'GINGERBREAD'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gingerbread that I've seen before include "Spiced biscuit shaped like a chap" , "Cake - for single parents?" , "Type of biscuit, often human shaped" , "Spiced cake made with treacle" , "Biscuit cut into shapes" .)
