Fresh Picked Strawberries
Blue skies. White clouds. Green Fields. Red Berries.
I am freezing mine for smoothies. Don't wash the berries and leave the tops on. Fill a cookie sheet with a single layer of berries. Freeze until hard. Place in Ziploc bag. Be sure to wash the berries before using them.

Hankering
Someone around here had a hankering for malted milk. That was 3 years ago. The jar of malted milk is only missing about 1 tablespoon of powder. Not as good as you remember it as a child? When I saw this recipe for malted milk cookies, I jumped at it. Hmmm...more like sauntered. Two ounces of malted milk powder used up. Only 10 more ounces to go.
Makes 36 cookies
Ingredients
Cream butter, then add both sugars and cream until fluffy. Add eggs and beat slightly, then add vanilla and beat until combined. Add malted milk powder and beat until combined.
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture, beating gently until just combined.
Add chocolate chips and stir in gently.
Drop by teaspoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Bake less if you want chewy cookies; more if you want crispy cookies.
Optional: Allow to cool completely, then use two cookies to make an ice cream sandwich. Add sprinkles to the sides of the ice cream, then wrap individually in plastic wrap.
