This is where I state my disbelief that Christmas is exactly four days away. I mean, seriously. How did that happen?! I had intended on putting this recipe up WEEKS ago. I guess better now than after Christmas.
These are some spectacular cookies! Based on my Breakfast Cookie recipe but with more chocolate and mint. YUM! I may or may not get to adding other recipes before the holidays so wishing you all a very joyful time! Thank you for following my blog!
