Milk and Cookies
It's a bit nostalgic, the notion of milk and cookies after school around the kitchen table while sharing the events of the day. While this image has changed in so many ways, the pleasant notion of "milk & cookies" lives on as a small indulgence to be enjoyed.  

IN THIS ISSUE, we're out to make a few fabulous cookies while improving our baking techniques. You'll find tips on how to measure ingredients correctly, and how to bake a better cookie. Recipes for three bakery-style cookies are included: White Chocolate-Cherry Oatmeal Cookies, Peanut-Butter-Milk Chocolate Bites, and Mocha Latte Cookies, all fabulous when freshly baked!
