Reviews
These are the BEST cookies I've ever made. It's like if an oreo and a thin mint had a baby. It's also a soft, semi cake-like texture. Absolute heaven. If you're a mint fan at all, you must bake these. I do recommend doubling the filling recipe. How they got 7 dozen cookies is beyond me. Perhaps I made them too big? Now to figure out how to store them once baked. Made them for Christmas and need them to last at least a week so I am going to try freezing them. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks
