I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

In medium bowl, combine flour, 3/4 cup malted milk powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat 1 cup margarine and 2 cups brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat well. Add half of dry ingredients; mix well. Blend in sour cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir in remaining dry ingredients and chopped almonds; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Heat oven to 375°F. On well-floured surface, roll out half of dough at a time to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 5-inch circles using empty 14-oz. coffee can as cutter or small bowl or plate as pattern, cutting around pattern with knife. Using pancake turner, transfer dough circles to ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375°F. for 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely on wire racks.

In medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup margarine, half-and-half and 1/2 cup brown sugar; cook and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; stir in 1/3 cup malted milk powder and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Gradually beat in enough powdered sugar for desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies. Decorate each with 5 whole almonds in "spoke" design; place chocolate chip in center. Allow frosting to set before storing.

*TIP: Slivered almonds or whole peanuts can be substituted for the whole almonds.

HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Decrease brown sugar in cookies to 1 1/2 cups. Bake as directed above.
