I was invited to a friend’s cookies exchange a week ago and although I have this huge list of family Christmas cookies I had to choose from, I decided to look for something new to try. (I should say for my second cookie, I also made Holly Wreaths). To me, mint is one of the…

I don’t know that I can call these cookies, but since they always made an appearance at Aunt ‘Thann’s cookie parties, I’m just going to go with it.
