First of all, Happy National Cookie Day! To celebrate, I've got a cookie recipe for you that's yummy and festive. If you like the combination of mint and chocolate then these cookies are definitely for you! And even if you don't like this duo, I think you'll still love these delicious green cookies. These have become one of my favorite holiday treats and they are SO easy to make! And who doesn't love the smell of cookies baking? Especially Christmas cookies! The recipe comes straight from Betty Crocker.
