I'm not sure if I'll have time to make these cookies before St. Patrick's Day, but I'm definitely saving the recipe for next year.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as green as the ones in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of green food, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The mint flavor is subtle and the cookies are nice and chewy.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
