We really enjoyed these soft, minty cookies. I could not find creme de menthe chips or chocolate chunks in my local stores, but I did find Hershey's chocolate mint chips so used 2 cups of those instead. I also used mint extract since we don't think it tastes like toothpaste, LOL. These are very pretty cookies and I plan to add them to my Christmas cookie list.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
