I'm not a big fan of mint, but I decided to try these cookies anyway. I'm so glad I did! The mint flavor is very subtle and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate. These cookies are now one of my favorites.

These cookies are dangerous! They are so good that I can't stop eating them. I have already eaten three and I'm not even halfway through the batch. I'm going to have to hide them from myself or I'm going to eat them all.
