Six months has gone by quickly. What a nice way to spend my Halloween morning by going for my six-month cleaning! (That was meant to be sarcasm.) My dentist and his staff fully understand that my dislike for going to the dentist has nothing to do with them personally. I just have never enjoyed going to the dentist. I would almost rather do anything else. Several years ago I started making and taking them one of my treats when I went for an appointment. I told them it was absolutely a bribe so they wouldn't hurt me. They just laughed.
I thought hard about what I could take them and finally decided to take some cookies. That way I could test them out first to make sure they were okay. Since I was going to keep some to eat myself, I substituted stevia for the sugar. They weren't real sweet but still good and I am sure they will appreciate the thought.
Dee, the receptionist, was really excited about them being almost sugar-free (there is a little sugar in the chocolate chips) and ate at least two before I left.
The recipe came from my Jamesport Kuntry Favorites cookbook and was contributed by Sarah Mae Yoder.

1 teaspoon vanilla
