Quick, easy and delicious! They are my middle son's new favorite. I didn't feel bad about eating so many because they're fat free!

These are light with just the right amount of mint flavor. Perfect addition to your holiday cookie tray-very pretty, too!

So good! Easy, light, they were gone in no time. Usually I am not too fond of mint flavour but here it was not overpowering, just right.<br/>Thanks for posting.<br/>Made for PAC-Autumn 2012
