This is a family favorite for Christmas! -
These had a great texture, but the mint taste didn't come through as much as I'd hoped. I will make these again with plain chocolate, since I loved the crispiness of the cookie. Thank you so much for a new yummy cookie! -
The cookies were easy to make and very flavorful. A cookie to be on every Christmas platter.
