Tuesday Treats

We have so many yummy treats that we make over the holidays (some that we only make DURING the holidays). So - I thought it would be fun to share with you the treats that have stuck for us over the years (usually the easy ones :)). From this Tuesday until the Tuesday before Christmas - I'm going to try to post the holiday treats WE make in our home. Hopefully you'll share some fun treats with me that I can try this year ... and then see if they stick! :)

TUESDAY TREAT #1:






Andes Mint Chip Cookies
(This is basically my Mom's ch.chip cookie recipe ... but with Andes added)

Cream well:
1 cup sugar
1 cub brown sugar
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup canola margarine (in tub form)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Sift together:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda

Add all together with 1 bag Andes mint chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-16 minutes.

Really - these chips are ideal for that minty craving over the holidays. I put part of a bag in a brownie mix to give brownies a Christmas-y taste. My kids put a handful of these chips in their instant hot chocolate, and we all love that! YUM-O!
