Chocolate Mint Cookies
Do you ever “lose” things?
What I really mean
is put something away,
and then totally
forget where YOU put it?
Sadly, I do this ALL the time…
like the other night for instance.
I looked everywhere for my old camera bag.
It still had my star filter in it and
I just knew that I had put it “somewhere”.

 

Where that was eluded me for about an hour…
I had to eat cookies to help calm down (don’t judge)
then I remembered that I put it
on a pile of sweaters in my closet…duh.
More clothes had been piled on top of it…
no wonder I couldn’t find it:-)

I wish I could say this was a once in a while thing…
but it happens to me ALL the time.
Things just “disappear” and then I get mad/upset
because they aren’t where I remember them being.
But then they show up in another place because
I “put” them away.
Oh, bother!
Being organized doesn’t help if you are forgetful;-)

 

Good thing I didn’t lose this cookie recipe…
because you definitely want to try these.
They were SO yummy!!!!

And they are small, so you can eat more of them.
And smaller cookies, means smaller calories, right?
Don’t burst my bubble by telling me different!

I got the recipe for these cookies
out of a new magazine I got at Walmart.
