October is National Cookie Month!
Baking is one of my passions, especially delectable cookies. How could I pass up an opportunity to whip up an All-American Favorite with a twist?
Cookie baking is really easy, and I have a few rules that always means good results. My recipe is the original Toll-House Cookie but I used large M&Ms instead of chocolate chips.

Chocolate chip are my favorite cookies.
Hi Martha, mine too! I’ve even found sugar-free chocolate chips for my friends who are diabetic. Use Splenda-brown sugar mix and everyone can enjoy a taste treat. And for your gluten-free friends, just do a substitute.
Before moving to Florida, my husband was involved in Kairos prison ministry. Part of the weekend was homemade chocolate chip cookies. Twice a year we would make over 200 dozen cookies in a weekend. I got pretty good at the assembly line process. The house would smell for days afterward. But the cookies were an integral part of the ministry that was performed for the offenders. Praying over the cookies while I was making them was a privilege. It was hard work, but so worthwhile. Over 3,000 dozen cookies were needed for each weekend.
Oh, Barb, that’s a wonderful ministry. It reminds me of the stats regarding criminals/offenders who contacted their moms on Mother’s Day. I’m sure the smell and taste of your chocolate chip cookies took them on a journey to a happier time.
Be blessed!
