Test Kitchen Tips:

You'll need 6 ears of fresh corn for the Roasted Corn Salsa (1/2 cup from each ear). To get the number of corn husks needed for the walleye, you can use the husks from these ears plus purchase 2 to 10 more, or you can purchase dried corn husks in the Hispanic food section of the grocery store, or at your local Hispanic market.

If peaches or nectarines feel very hard when lightly pressed, place them in a paper bag to ripen. Close the bag and place on the counter for a day or 2 or until they start to feel softer.

Use a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop to drop the cookie dough onto the cookie sheets.
