I have made these since I first saw the recipe. I have substituted many flavorings, and added chips, shaved chocolate,or chocolate mint bar, and every time they disappear! They are one of the quickest, most versatile cookies I have made. They taste wonderful no matter how I make them.

The cookies are okay and easy to make, but there is WAY too much peppermint in them. I'd only use HALF the recommended amount if I made them again.

I agree they need a bit more sugar. But yummy!

I tried these out doing just 1/2 batch. Used Vanilla extract for flavoring. Very good** Next time I may increase the c.sugar just a bit to have a super quick, melt in your mouth sugar cookie.

There's 148 calories in 2 cookies. I couldn't make these because I couldn't stop eating them. 148!!!!

I bet these would be good dipped in chocolate, for a chocolate mint cookie. Haven't made them yet but will be in the next few days.

These cookies are absolutely delicious and so easy to make. They're a keeper, for sure, and one we'll make many more times, as we absolutely love them.

This recipe was excellent. I made them for St. Patrick's Day and used Emerald pearlized sugar. The mint made them extra special for us.

Liked this well enough to save it. Very easy to make with few ingredients. Not too crazy about the mint. Perhaps I will try with vanilla another time and add just 1/4 t. salt to punch up the flavors.

Heck Yes, I'll make these again!!! Just pulled the first batch out of the oven 5 min. ago and they smell/taste WONDERFUL! Just like a shortbread. Didn't have mint so I used the hint from 'maggieaw' and used anise. Just the right thing to do. Thanx to her for that!

GOOD. little delicate cookies. I substituted Anise flavoring for a change from the mint.

Wow! I just finished making these great cookies....FANTASTIC! Pressed and covered with gold. I wanted them to look like the gold coins the Leprechaun left behind. Can't wait to see what the kids think!

I am on my way into the kitchen, now. Have all the ingredients on hand. Since today is St. Patrick's Day I will use green sugar. For Easter I might use a variety of sugars in pastel, spring colors.

These sound fabulous. I bet they melt in your mouth. I bet you could sustitute other flavors too.
