I was a little disappointed with these cookies. They were a bit too dry for my taste and the mint flavor was a bit too subtle.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover mint leaves. I love the combination of mint and chocolate chips.

Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. The mint flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, but my kids loved them.
