I found this in a box of recipe clippings and decided to give them a whirl. I'm so glad I did! The minty flavor is perfect for Christmas. —Joe Mattes, Amana, Iowa

"Awesome recipe! I was impatient so I spread the mixture onto a lightly buttered cookie sheet to speed up the chilling process. One of my girlfriends always wants these (she would eat the entire batch if we would let her!), and makes great gifts too. Thanks for sharing such an easy and delicious recipe."
