Today after getting home from church and eating lunch, Jeff was rooting around the kitchen for something sweet to eat. Now, this doesn't happen very often. My husband would probably eat meat and potatoes for every meal and be perfectly happy. As luck would have it there wasn't anything around he wanted. So he went off to bed unsatisfied.
Lucky for him I have been planning for about a week to make homemade mint milanos. This is one treat that Jeff REALLY loves. So, I looked on the web for a recipe. I found one that didn't look to hard and I gave it a go. There weren't too many ingredients and were simple to put together. 
This is the dough chilling in the fridge

........On a side note, if you look closely you can see a blue Fanta in the fridge.....Jeff and I had a really fun adventure yesterday at a Greek deli buying Bulgarian cheese, hummus and Macedonian Fanta. Jeff always likes to try the weird drinks and food he sees. Ask my sister about the candy he ate in July:) This tangent has nothing to do with cookies, but it was the funnest day! Back to the cookies........I think they turned out pretty delicious if I do say so myself. 
You'll notice a cookie in the back with a chocolate smear......it was bugging me so bad I almost threw it away. But I knew Jeff would freak out if I told him. And I'm working on my OCD:)

And I'm working on my OCD:)The only thing I wished I had done is cook them a little bit longer so they were just a tad crispier. Next time I make them that will be easy to fix. I also had the idea to use up some crushed peppermints for some of the cookies. And man was that a yummy addition!
Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon while my tired husband is sleeping!!!

I might have to try those!
