is put something away,
and then totally
forget where YOU put it?
like the other night for instance.
I looked everywhere for my old camera bag.
It still had my star filter in it and
I just knew that I had put it “somewhere”.
Where that was eluded me for about an hour…
I had to eat cookies to help calm down (don’t judge)
then I remembered that I put it
on a pile of sweaters in my closet…duh.
More clothes had been piled on top of it…
no wonder I couldn’t find it:-)
I wish I could say this was a once in a while thing…
but it happens to me ALL the time.
Things just “disappear” and then I get mad/upset
because they aren’t where I remember them being.
But then they show up in another place because
I “put” them away.
Oh, bother!
Being organized doesn’t help if you are forgetful;-)
Good thing I didn’t lose this cookie recipe…
because you definitely want to try these.
They were SO yummy!!!!
And they are small, so you can eat more of them.
And smaller cookies, means smaller calories, right?
Don’t burst my bubble by telling me different!
I got the recipe for these cookies
out of a new magazine I got at Walmart.
100 Best Cookies from Better Homes and Garden
There are so many that I want to try…
but this one got to be #1.
Chocolate mocha cookies with a mint fudge center.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In bowl, beat butter. Add brown sugar, cocoa powder, coffee, and baking soda. Beat until combined. Beat in egg whites and yogurt until combined. Beat in the flour.
- Place granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll the dough into 1/2 inch balls and roll in sugar before placing on a ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350* for 8 – 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in a airtight container between wax paper layers. These will keep for up to a week.
Notes
I found the Fudge Mint cups at the Dollar Store.

These look so yummy! I am very forgetful too. I think all creative people are. It is because we have so many ideas in our mind that it doesn’t leave room for much else! Whenever I have a “blonde” moment, which by the way happens often. My husband always says “well at least you can paint a pretty picture”! Cracks me up everytime!
These look yummy!
This sounds GREAT Joce (as do all of your creations) – I swear I gain weight reading your blog
. I love that these are relatively healthy too… I’ll be on the lookout for those mini fudge cups!
Jocelyn! Thank you for another coffee laced treat! (you know I love my coffee!) Will be trying this soon. Merry Christmas.
YUM! I agree with you…smaller means you can eat more! : )
I get SO mad when I lose things because it’s so not like me. That’s more frustrating than anything!
Those look yummy!! I found you at Design it Chic and I am your newest follower from The Adventures of Mommy B
These sound delish. I will need to check my dollar store. I’ve never seen these mint fudge cups.
They look great! And they are comfort food – what can be better. Thanks for sharing
These look delish and festive! I just hate it when I do stuff like that because I can’t rest or concentrate until I find whatever it is. Makes me crazy but then at least it’s an excuse to eat chocolate.
I forget where I put things all the time as well. So you aren’t alone!
And those look so yummy! Can you taste the mocha in them a lot? I am not much of a coffee/mocha girl but these look too good to pass up because I LOVE mint.
Thanks for linking up!
saw you on Catch A Glimpse… these sound super good!!! i think my hubby might just find them under the tree as one of his Christmas gifts
thanks for the inspiration!!
Those look super yummy! Plus I really like the look of the green and brown colors together. Always looking for new christmas cookie to bake, so this will get bookmarked.
girl, do i know about forgetfulness!!! the oven timer goes off and i hear it but somehow forget that i’m baking something and don’t even pay the timer any attention. i’m a nut!

That makes me so frustrated! I do the same thing all the time, and I know that a couple of years ago, I would’ve remembered! What’s happening to me?? I’m only 24! I have quite a few years to start forgetting things!

I put things where I won’t forget where they are–then promptly do. It’s just because we women do so much and our brains are full. Ha!
This recipe looks delish!
Those mini mint fudge cups are now my new obsession! I MUST find them!
Love your math…that combination would definitely equal Delish!
Thanks for sharing.

Did you put the mint cup on before or after baking?
@sugar and spice – I put the mint cup on after it came out of the oven.
