How to make an arrow toothpick.

My new favorite cookie recipe.

One of my favorite things about living in Southern Oregon is having the historical Butte Creek Mill near by. You can find locally milled grains, flours and mixes at near by retailers; order online or visit the historical millhouse in Eagle Point and see the stone mill in action. My favorite BCM product is there pancake and waffle mix. Inside the package is a list of great ways to ues the mix. I've made the chocolate chip cookies many times and sometimes tweek it a bit. I think I've perfected it, atleast to my taste. The great thing about cookies made with this mix is that because of the whole grains, you don't get that tummy acke that comes with eating empty carbs and you never want to stop eating them. Wait... that could be a bad thing. So here is my recipe for my new favorite cookies.

1/2 cup partially melted butter
1/2 sugar
1/2 brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
2 eggs
2 cups BCM pancake and waffle mix
1/2 cup oats
1 cups chocolate chips
1 cups dryed sweetened cranberries

  Level cookie dough into icecream scoop and drop onto cookie sheet 3 inches apart.
Flatten dough with a fork.
Bake at 350○ for 10-12 minutes.

Happy baking!
