My niece made this for a gathering I attended and I loved it. It is a very light, creamy dessert. It does need to made at least a day ahead of time so allow for that in your preparation. (The mints called for are sold under the name of "Melt Away Mints" at Hickory Farms but you can get them other places as well. There is a photo of them in the photo section of this recipe.)

Tips

- **Choose the right mint.** Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but use half the amount. - **Don't overmix the batter.** Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Chill the dough before baking.** Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. - **Bake the cookies at a high temperature.** This will help the cookies rise and become fluffy. - **Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.** This will help the frosting set properly. ###
