Inlaid Tile Quilt

(More than) a few years ago, I took a quilt class. The name of the class was "Fabulous Fifteen" and, as you may have guessed, we learned 15 patterns - they were related, each week we selected one of the assorted patterns for that class. For a variety of reasons, I didn't finish a single quilt from the project. This unfinished-ness started bothering me, so I dug out the quilt parts and the directions and decided to do something about it...( Here be details and pic )

Posty McPostalot - recipe time!

Reduced Guilt Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies

(If you are mint intolerant you could probably ditch the mint extract, just add a little extra of the vanilla)

6 Tbsp butter or margarine

½ cup brown sugar, packed

1 egg

½ tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp mint extract

¾ cup unbleached four

¾ cup toasted wheat germ

½ tsp baking powder

pinch salt

½ to 1 cup chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and mint extracts.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, and salt. Stir into the butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto a lightly buttered / Pam’ed cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes.

Fiber – the damn recipe doesn’t say, but considering 2 tablespoons of wheat germ contains 2 grams of fiber, it should be pretty good
