MINT CHIP SUGAR COOKIES

It wasn’t until I was much older in life before I had the luxury of going out to get ice cream. I never realized there were so many flavors to choose from. Once I found out about mint chocolate chip, I rarely chose anything else. Eating minty desserts seems like the right thing to do during the Holidays! I love that these are as “melt in your mouth” soft as sugar cookies without all of the fuss or rolling out and decorating traditional sugar cookies. Let’s keep it real here, sometimes us women just don’t have time for all of that fuss…but still need a crowd pleasing cookie! Mint Chip Sugar Cookies will help you please your crowds and save you time to boot! Enjoy!!
