Get out the vote

I am already done voting! Easy breezy, no lines. Tonight, my hubby will go to vote and cancel out my votes. What matters is that we both registered our opinion. Now, no matter who wins, I have the right to speak my piece.

How was your Halloween? Any leftover candy? (does such a thing exist?) I have a recipe for cookies made from leftover candy. More than one such recipe, actually. This one is for leftover malted milk balls. You could even go buy some just for these cookies, they are pretty good. The malted milk balls melt into toffee-ish bits, yummy.


Malted Milk ball Cookies

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (about 6 oz.) crushed malted milk balls

Crush the malted milk balls in a zip-lock bag with a rolling pin. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream butter, sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in crushed malted milk balls.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until light brown. Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheets. Appx 3 1/2 dozen.
