I made these cookies during a Christmas baking escapade. They are so good!
Confession: I do NOT love cookies. These were amazing though. I was pretty excited about them.
They came out in perfectly round looking cookies which was a huge win for me!
My 6 year old walked in and asked if I was baking ice cream. These little beauties looked just like scoops of mint chip ice cream.
