In reply to the discussion: Christmas Cookies [View all]Dem2theMax
(9,650 posts)34. Oh my gosh! You just brought back one of my favorite memories.
My mom made those cookies for us when we were kids. They were my absolute favorite. And of course as an adult, I've never been able to find the mints, and mom never wrote down a recipe, so she took it with her to her grave.
I've tried using a chocolate chip dough recipe without the chocolate chips, and have substituted a mint that just didn't taste the way the old ones did. But from your description, I was able to find the original recipe online, and I'm gonna go from there and figure out how to make those wonderful cookies again.
Thank you so much for posting this. This is the best Christmas present I am going to get this year!
