CREME DE MENTHE BARS
his is a very easy recipe. My son won a purple ribbon (which is higher than a blue ribbon) at the county fair when he was 10 years old. This was also his first paid 'catering' job for a graduation party when he was 12 (he's married now, so that gives you a clue as to how long I've had this recipe). Great brownies with a mint flavored filling.

Tips:
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to keep the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a fun and festive touch, add a few drops of green food coloring to the frosting.
Conclusion:
Crème de menthe cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their minty flavor and creamy frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
