This was passed on to me by a friend. At the top she had witten: This buttermint sugar cookie recipe is not your common sugar cookie. You like something a little different, so this one is for you." I'm not exactly sure just how she meant that but it sounds good.

These cookies are so versatile. You can add different extracts or spices to change up the flavor. I've even made them with chocolate chips!

I added a little bit of green food coloring to the dough, and the cookies turned out a beautiful shade of green. They were perfect for St. Patrick's Day!

I used a different mint extract than the recipe called for, and the cookies still turned out great. I think you could use any kind of mint extract you like.
