These taste almost exactly like a Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie. And that is very dangerous to Lori. Because as the Weight Watchers meeting instructor said in a meeting long ago, "Isn't the sleeve of Thin Mints one serving?" Ha. While I am not a binge eater, at least not for many years, I can overdo totally with these cookies. So, this is one of those make and give away, right away cookies.
Does that give you an idea of how delicious they are?
So, are you buried in last minute Christmas preparations. I am a little. I just finished one project for my brother and sister in law. I am working on a project for my daughter. Oh, I can't wait to see it. It has been fun making it. Of course most things on the sewing machine are fun for me lately. It used to be fun in the kitchen but that all shifted a couple years ago. I still like baking and cooking but not nearly as much as I like sewing. People can't eat your creations in five minutes when you sew.
Yes, some of my friends call me a domestic diva. You know what? I totally love it. Grateful for every minute of my home and time in my home.
