   Your recipes look great not if you have a picture of the cookies along side the recipe then people would know what they look like when making them.

   Hi Mel,

   Would it be possible to make mini cookies from these recipes (specifically your best choc chip and double choc chip one)? Should i just bake them for a short amount of time? My sibs and i prefer miniature-sized cookies and deserts in general — that way we can eat all we want w/o feeling guilty.

   Thanks,

   Ruby

     Hi Ruby – it might specifically depend on each recipe but I think for the most part all these would transition well to mini cookies that are baked for several minutes less.

     Shaimaa – THESE cookies can be made with all shortening.

   Mel, where can you delicious chocolate, oatmeal, coconut cookie be found? It calls for part dark and light brown sugar? Am I blind or is it gone? I thought I asked you on here somewhere before looking for it so sorry if you’ve answered me on a another feed and I just haven’t realized it.
