Grinch Cookies

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was phenomenal! It was a lovely day that was spent gorging on turkey, sweet potatoes, and anything pumpkin! Also, football played a major role in the day, as did Black Friday Shopping!

It was my first ever experience of the mad rush of shoppers. it was fun though, and I got great deals on gifts and a new phone for myself (I couldn't help it :p). I was in North Carolina, so their malls are HUGE! Maybe not for them, but for this girl they seemed like a labyrinth of stores!

Now that Thanksgiving is time to begin the Christmas baking extravaganza! It is the perfect time of year to bake all the time without people thinking your weird. I also love giving the things I make away.

As it was the first day of December yesterday, I decided to pay tribute to the Grinch himself. Grinch cookies are minty, but also chocolatey! Yum!!

If you can't tell, the cookies are green!!
