This recipe is from Not Just Yogurt (NJY), in Livermore – my first job; I worked there after school & on the weekends when I was 15 – 17 yrs old. We made fresh bread, cookies & soup. The Monster cookies were the most popular. Karen Cortez was the owner & she was in the Livermore III ward with us, this is her recipe.
