Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: Chocolate Mint Cookies

5 Comments

Cooking

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is CHOCOLATE MINT COOKIES!

Do you know what’s even better than mint cookies? Double mint cookies with frosting! My favorite Girl Scout cookies are the mint but, unless you have Girl Scouts on tap year round, that craving can grow to monumental proportions. These double cookies can be made anytime. Yeah, takes a bit more work but WORTH THE TROUBLE!!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I was never much for huge pepper flavors until I had a peppercorn steak at my favorite German restaurant when I was a teenager. I loved it so much I’d order it every time we went there. Alas, they closed down and I was forced to find a close facsimile of the flavors. This recipe isn’t exactly like the steak I remember but it makes my taste buds happy when I’m craving peppercorn steak. 

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I don’t know about you but I make a lot of soups during the winter months. It’s great comfort food when you’re fighting off the cold and so easy to throw together in one pot. I have been known to make chicken noodle soup completely from scratch but, sometimes, it’s great to do a quickie version. That is the version I wanted to share with you today.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
