Thin Mint N’Chip Crispers

Good Sunday Morning! Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! It’s been a nice weekend here, we spent Fri night watching my sister’s cutest kids so her and her hubby could celebrate her birthday, which is today. Yay, Happy Birthday cutie! Check out her clothing boutique if you are a hip and trendy hot mama like her!

Saturday, before we headed to my sister’s house, I drug the whole family to the farmer’s market. It was so comical, I had one kid crying because he wanted to sit in the big part of the grocery cart and the other child tugging at my shirt because he wanted to get in the basket too. Amidst all the chaos, I raced around the store and managed to pick up a huge basket full of fresh fruit and veggis that I am so excited to get my hands on this week. Stay tuned for some garden fresh recipes.

 

I know I promised the browies first, but these cookies just couldn’t wait. I am usually not a fan of flat, crisp cookies, but this recipe changed my mind completely.

I felt like a mad scientist Thursday night in my kitchen. The whole family had gone to bed and I felt like making something fun. I pulled out my Andes Thin Mint Chip pieces, and whipped up this cookie recipe. They are perfectly round, crisp on the edges but chewy in the center. You’ll notice I added 3 Tablespoons of instant vanilla pudding, it really gave them a nice chewy consistency. I love how you can stack these cookies so nicely too, they make really cute gifts in a little bag with a ribbon.

I got a little carried away with all the pictures! See you all soon with 2 garden fresh pasta recipes and of course those brownies I promised!
