MONDAY, DECEMBER 4
NATIONAL COOKIE DAY
Bite into bliss!
Celebrate the day with chocolate chip cookies—with a twist! “Malted milk powder is a really fun secret ingredient,” shares Katie Jacobs, author of The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book. “It makes the cookies extra chewy and adds a caramel, nutty flavor you can’t quite put your finger on…and can’t quite stop eating!” She suggests adding 1⁄2 cup (like Nestlé Carnation Original Malted Milk Powder) to the dry ingredients. Also smart: Swap in vanilla bean paste (at grocery stores) for vanilla extract for extra-delicious flavor!
