I made these cookies today. Based on the reviews, I used 3 t (instead of 2 t) of mint extract and I also added 2 t of mint extract to the melted chocolate drizzle. These cookies did not have much flavor and the mint flavor was little to none. They are not particularly attractive although they look better if you add the chocolate drizzle. I won't be making these again.

With the changes to the email notifications and removal of private messaging, I am no longer able to respond to questions about my recipes. Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
