Super Cookie

Here's a recipe I want to try, but was unable to buy calcium carbonate at my local Sprouts market. Maybe I will bake them without it, since it says it is optional... but maybe that defeats the purpose?!? The recipe was put together by a BYU professor striving to increase the calcium intake of deficient children in Bolivia and Peru. I guess milk is not traditionally a common drink there. And since I am not a big milk fan myself, I am always on the lookout for high calcium content foods. I will report back on how they taste and if kids actually like them.
