Making cookies for the Holidays:
Mike Hendricks knows the difference in cookies.  Mike is a cell phone game programer and says he does not consider himself a cook but rather makes cookies because he does not like the ready made cookies. 
Mike according to the St. Joseph News-Press entered his "cookie recipe" in the Cook's Country best holiday cookie contest, placing runner up in the national contest.  Mike credits his wife for her help who also has some cooking contest experience as well.  Mrs. Hendricks won the Cook's Country grand price about 3 years ago. 
You can find Mike's winning cookie recipe here.
Congratulations Mike!
