Advent Activities Day 5 - A Delicious Disaster

Since whatever perishable items we put in our little Christmas packages to family have to last the week or more it takes to get to Canada, cookies are the logical (and yummy) choice.  Earlier this week I wasted spent time online looking for yummy options and ran across this one:  www.sugarhero.com/recipes/?recipe_id=6024504.  The thought of biting into a cookie-wrapped Junior Mint was just too much to resist.  And of course, since it's for family, I'd only have the opportunity to try one or two, not the whole batch! :)

So this morning, that was our little adventure...and it flopped.  Big time. (the Junior Mints melted through the dough and then we couldn't get them off the tray in one piece.)  But it's an ohhhh sooooo yummy flop!


So, we moved on and made last week's Andes Peppermint Chunk cookies.  I'll have to find some other recipes to try, and hopefully the kids aren't burnt out on cookie-making!

Meanwhile...the kids are happily making more Christmas cards for everyone.
