I'm sorry to leave a low review, but there are many problems with this recipe. I'm sure that some of the problems I had with this recipe are due to my interpetations of the directions. I wasn't sure if these were supposed to be drop or bar cookies, so based on the cooking time,I chose drop. I figured a bar cookie would take longer, and the directions say cookie sheet. I ended up with very tough cookies with a weird outer layer to them. It's very hard to explain. They almost had the texture of a muffin. We tried them warm and cold, and neither was appealing to our family. The dough was a strange color, so I added food coloring, but I'm sure that wasn't the reason for the texture issue. The mint flavor was very good, and the cookies smelled great. They were easy to mix up, but did require a great deal of mixing. I hope someone else will try this recipe and tell me what I did wrong!
