Really yummy and easy to make, though I did bake them for 15 minutes, I think. (I lost track of how many "2 minutes more" I put on the timer.) The mintiness is subtle and I do wonder if chocolate (just a little) would be a good addition. May try that soon. ;) Reviewed for Photo Tag's Cookie Exchange.
