We’re pretty happy about these cookies. They are easy to make and come out like home made. A great alternative to making cookies from scratch and a great way to start out young bakers. The ingredient list is short — and you can decide if you want to use the entire sugar packet. The beauty of this mix is you can make substitutions too! There’s suggestions on the box. We made the Triple Chocolate Oatmeal cookies on the video.  Other varieties are Hearty Oatmeal-cranberry and Rich & Chewy Chocolate-Chocolate chip.

All use whole grains, fruit, and natural raw sugar. The chocolate chocolate chip even has  flax meal!

When we spoke with Susan from May Cookie Co., she told us she really wanted to instill her passion for fresh, healthy food into her cookie mix. She also said that customers pass these off as homemade all the time. Try them and you will see this is true. Bottom line — your kids will like them and get to eat a better cookie and you’ll have the memories. Keep a box around for the next snow day from school.

The May Cookie Company is located in Connecticut and will soon be on shelves across the country at Home Goods Stores and at Whole Foods. You can order on-line too www.maycookie.com

Michelle Day has been cooking and baking since she was old enough to hold a whisk. Michelle is an expert cook and her passion for cooking and entertaining has never wavered. At the age of 10 Michelle’s Family started a bakery in Simsbury CT, where Michelle got her first taste of running a food service business. In 1994 Michelle moved to New York City, where, she found her true passion in baking. In 2001 she started “The Catering Divas” Catering business. Serving the Upper East Side, she catered numerous small dinner and cocktail parties. Her passion and attention to detail won her the attention of some of New York’s Elite. Back at home in Connecticut, Michelle is a well known culinary instructor and her cake decorating skills jump-started a side business — Devine Cake Designs — where clients clamor for her inspired and beautifully artistic designs. After 15 years in the culinary industry, Michelle’s love of cooking, baking and children, has lead to her to her newest career, offering personalized family cooking classes and creating a TV show, digital broadcasts and Cook Books like no other. Kids and a Cook is all about healthy, fun, and easy meals for kids and their families. Michelle credits her parents with her success and her love of food, helping to create so many memories being in the kitchen with them as a child. Her goal is to have a show to help viewers create the same memories with their families. A show for the kids, and by the kids, with the “cook” there as guidance. Michelle’s featured co-host is an energetic, precocious 9-year-old named Elisabeth. Although a finicky eater, Elisabeth still loves to cook in the kitchen and learn about ingredients and how to mix them to make tasty dishes.
