The Original Metronome Mint Cookies

Submitted by Shannon C.

"I never thought that these cookies will be a hit with my friends and family, but this was a mistake made good when I ran out of one ingredient...and find an alternate...crushed peppermint! Originally called "The Cookie" it was changed to Metronome Mint Cookies, because like the Pokemon move "Metronome" it is random ingredients to make a wonderful destructively sweet cookie. This is the original recipe from almost 11 years ago! There are duplicates, but this is the original!"
