Tommy is finally down for his nap. I have made two more batches of Hot Cocoa Mix, but now have ran out of powdered milk. Next I will wash up the dishes and start on my cookies for the Cookie Exchange. I am making ANdes Creme De Menthe Cookies.

Measure out approximately 1 oz of dough – for ball and slightly flatten. Raise oven rack one level about middle and bake on non-stick baking pans. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 8 -10 minutes. Cool on pans for 2 minutes before removing. Makes about 3 -1/2 dozen cookies.
