YUM, YUM, YUM
ANDES MINT COOKIES
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces Andes mints
Pecan halves
In a larage bowl, cream sugars and butter or margarine. Add eggs, vanilla and water. Beat well. Mix flour, baking soda and salt well. Add gradually to egg mixture. Chill dough overnight (it is important that the dough be well chilled}. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap each mint comletely in cookie dough. Place 2" apart on lightly greased cookie sheets and put a nut on top of each cookie. Bake 7-9 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool throughly on wire racks.
Instead of a nut on top, drizzle some melted chocolate on top and they make a beautiful cookie for gifting.
Try freezing the mints before wrapping in the cookie dough. Also roll them in powered sugar right out of the oven.
Cherry mints are delicious also.

JOHN 10:26-30
CHRIST JESUS, YOU SAID THAT THOSE WHO BELIEVE YOU ARE YOUR SHEEP. YOUR SHEEP LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE; YOU KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW YOU. YOU GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH; NO ONE CAN SNATCH THEM OUT OF YOUR FATHER'S HAND. YOU AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOUR HOUSE
DEAR GOD,
IT'S HARD FOR US TO BE SEPARATED FROM
THOSE WHO ARE SO VERY SPECIAL TO US.
WE COMMIT THEM TO YOUR CARE.
THANK YOU THAT ALTHOUGH WE MAY EXPERIENCE
SEPARATION ON THE EARTH,
YOU HAVE PREPARED A PLACE FOR US
TO ALL BE TOGETHER WITH YOU FOREVER.
AMEN
DEAR LORD,
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOU'VE GIVEN TO US,
YOU HAVE BLESSED US WITH NOT ONLY MATERIAL POSSESSIONS,
BUT ALSO WITH UNIQUE TALENTS THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS.
MAKE US AWARE OF THOSE WHO NEED ASSISTANCE,
SO THAT WE CAN SHARE OUR TIME IN HELPING,
OR EVEN JUST LISTENING WHEN THEY NEED TO TALK.
OUR TREASURE AND ABILITIES ARE YOURS, LORD.
WE WANT TO USE THEM TO BENEFIT OTHERS.
AMEN
