Only 2 more batches to go before Friday to stay on track of 52 cookies a year.  The last couple of days cookies:

#49 Cranberry Oat Yummies
I thought these cookies were excellent.  They are a lot like an oatmeal raisin cookie, soft and chewy just like an oatmeal raisin cookie should be.  Instead of raisins, there are cranberries.  The cranberries give the cookie a pop.  Mike however rated these cookies rather low - only a 2 (he hasn't given anything a 1 yet - a cookie is still a cookie).  However I brought these cookies to our church's crafty women day and for my girls' tennis tournament today - and they were a big hit.  So I guess girls like this cookie?   It is a "healthy" cookie - filled with oatmeal, cranberries and egg substitutes.  Mike doesn't usually like things that aren't laden with sugar.  The cookies I made tonight however, got a 5 from Mike.

#50 Chocolate Malted Milk Cookies
It's no wonder Mike gave these a 5 - the recipe calls for malted milk powder, chocolate syrup, semi sweet chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chips - Mike loved it.  Unfortunately he only gets a couple - (spoiler alert) they're being mailed off to Indiana for his Dad's birthday. This cookie is everything you hope for I imagine when you buy it from a coffee shop or bakery or such: a gooey soft large chocolate chip cookie that melts in your mouth. They were good - and quick to make as the batch only makes about 18 3-4 inch diameter cookies. Happy Birthday Lynn!
