"cookie week" news and stories

"Cookie Week" on Martha Stewart's TV show continues today with these Chocolate Mint Sandwiches.

I haven't made these, but the first reaction I had when I saw the pic is that they look a little like chocolate covered Oreos. Of course, I'm sure they're different. For one thing, the filling inside is made with peppermint extract, and the top glaze is melted semi-sweet chocolate. Full recipe after the jump.

This week, Martha Stewart is doing a "Cookie Week" on her show. We recently did an entire Cookie Month, but I guess that's harder to do on a syndicated TV show without taking up too much time.

I'll post the recipes for each day's cookies (I thought she was originally supposed to start the week of recipes yesterday but it actually started today). First up, these Lime Meltaways.
