I know I said I wasn't going to post again until after Christmas, but I just had to share these cookies my oldest son and I made this morning for Santa. When I asked him a couple of weeks ago what kind of cookies he wanted to make for Santa this year, he told me, "Chocolate milk cookies." I was determined to make this happen.I immediately thought of these cookies, which use strawberry milk powder. I figured they'd work just as well with chocolate milk powder instead, and they did. To really up the chocolate milk factor, I added a chocolate milk glaze to the cookies when they came out of the oven, and then we gave them a generous dose of festive sprinkles:
Andrew loved helping me out with these cookies, and I think it's clear what his favorite part of the process was:
Hey, Santa visits every child in the world. Some germs are to be expected, right? These little cookies turned out to be absolutely delicious. I think

Merry Christmas Cassie to you and your family!
I bet Santa was very happy with his cookies! They sound delicious.
He's got the right idea- head straight to the whisk, that's where the goods are!
Hope you had a merry Christmas Cassie!
Can use milk not powder???
Chuckled, reading your story on the chocolate milk cookie. During the pandemic, one way to "visit" our grandchildren was for grandma to bake a different cookie every week or two. After we'd been through seven or eight kinds of cookies, I asked my 4 year old grandson what cookie was next and he piped up with "how about chocolate milk cookies? " I told him I would check it out and sure enough your recipe was the only one! Needless to say all the grandchildren got their chocolate milk cookies and loved them, also made them in strawberry! Delicious..and making them again this week, as requested! Thank you
