Garlic Chip Cookies

"This recipe was printed a few years ago in the Milwaukee Journal along with other recipes with unusual ingredients. I'm known for bringing in cookies to work fairly regularly and I tend to bring these cookies on April Fool's Day. Many people can't figure out the secret ingredient. I think they taste OK, but have a bit of a garlic aftertaste. People who like garlic really enjoy them. I've had requests to bring them to work more often than just on April Fool's! I've noticed my coworkers in Arizona like them a lot more than coworkers in Wisconsin did..."

  1. I made this recipe for a garlic themed dinner party I was attending. I followed the recipe except substituted chocolate chips for butterscotch. The garlic was pretty subtle but added a nice hint of savory- an unexpected twist- to an otherwise favorite classic. Be sure to blend well!

The pics are of my favorite band, Night Ranger. All pics of me were too large for the site...sorry! But since nranger7 is my name, it kinda fits to have a pic of them! I enjoy baking in my spare time. My coworkers love me because I regularly bring them cookies. I recently started dabbling in baking pies too. I've been told I should bake for a living, but I'm sure it wouldn't be as fun if I HAD to do it all the time! :)
