The need: a fitting “thank you” treat for our fabulous Computer Resource duo at the high school where I teach. That would have been simple enough except that in answer to the question, “What’s your favorite cookie?” the response from one of them was “That kitchen sink variety; you know the ones with everything in them: caramel, toffee, and all that good stuff.” What to do? Get creative with what I could procure easily! We do have mini chocolate chips available locally. And I’ve always loved ice cream with chocolate sandwich cookie chunks, so the idea of those two ingredients combined with some nuts sounded scrumptious. But to really be a “kitchen sink” cookie, I felt I needed one more item. A mental scan of possibilities turned up graham crackers, a favorite since childhood. And, voila!, the Chocolate Chip and Chunk Cookie was born. It promises to be a favorite for all ages in your household! Nifty packaging idea: One of my students from Russia loves Pringles and I asked her if I could have her leftover canisters. She happily obliged and I simply wash them out, dry them, wrap them in colorful scrapbooking paper, embellish with ribbon and a card, and then stack the cookies inside. It keeps them fresh and looks fabulous! Read More
