Sea Salt Mint White Mocha Cookies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min./batch
YIELD: 26 cookies
This recipe came from my mom's Grandma Alice, who taught her how to bake. Grandma Alice always had a fresh plate of warm cookies on her counter. I learned some of her recipes by heart as a child, and I've been making these since high school. They taste like Christmas.—Kristin Bowers, Rancho Palos Verdes, California
