Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
This evening I was craving something sweet. I never use to crave sweets before my gastric bypass surgery. However, now I seem to crave sweets all the time.
Tonight it was chocolate cookies so I got up and made some. They were good. I was good and ate only a small one. If I eat too many sweets I will get sick with what is called a dumping syndrome.
If you like to cook these cookies in you new home be sure to call me so that we can get started looking for that home!
Sussie,
They sure look good, and I am glad you enjoyed making them and eating one. A
Good morning, Sussie.... better you than me!!! I baked all week... everything from double fudge brownies to pakhlava and never tasted anything...I have about 20 more pounds to lose...
It must have been something in the air yesterday.
I too had a craving for something sweet. Nothing in the house. So, I drove to the only place one can buy anything edible in Lovettsville, the 7-11 store.
That's right. This month we lost our closest grocery store in Brunswich, just 2 miles from my home. Now the closest grocery store(s) is in Purcellville, 15 miles away.
The 7-11 is reliable for snack foods and I was happy with "Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookies".
Wish I could stop at one, but that ship saled. My digestive system is like a garbage disposer. It has no discrimation between foods as long as there's plenty of it.
How do I manage weight? Lots of fruits, vegetables and miles on my treadmill.
Sussie-Congrat on the losing weight and I know about that can only eat a little bit otherwise you get sick. Your cookies sound yummy
Your cookies look delicious, Sussie. I applaud you for having just one, something I can never do.
Susie, they look so yummy and I'm sure they must have tasted yummy for your tummy.
EVERYONE MY COMMENTS TO YOURS KEEP DISAPEARING SO HERE GOES AGAIN!
A... I did enjoy the one I ate.
Bob ... They did taste really good. I am a chocolate lover.
Yep Joe they were good enough to eat.
Barbara... I still have a good amount yet to lose. But I was really over weight. I am still working on it. I have more than 20 pounds to lose.
Lenn ... Yep there was cookies in the air.
Sharon ... Yes you can only eat a little bit.
A & J ... If there were any left I would pass you one.
Lottie ... No applaud needed! That is all I can eat without getting sick.
Bob Ratliff ... They were yummy for my tummy.
Sussie,
I may have to have the recipe I love mint and chocolate nothing better.
Well Yolanda I will be able to remember that recipe because it is a Pillsbury cookie box mix! They are really delicious.
Sussie, They look very festive and the peppermint will be refreshing too. Just eating one takes real discipline.
Susssie, I hope you do not get sick with this dumping part. Sounds terrible. the cookies look delicious. Merry Christmas..
Bob... Dumping syndrome is the same as being drunk. You drink too much you get drunk.... you eat too much (with gastric bypass) you get sick like if you were drunk. And you are right.... it is not a good feeling.
Alan and Debbie ... Those cookies were and are good. We are still trying to eat the last of them. These cookies are from a Pillsbury box mix! I am definitely going to get these again. They were so awesome. EVERYONE loved them.
