Chocolate Mint Cookies

By

Mint-flavored chocolate chips or chopped chocolate-mint candies stud these classic cookies.

My grandma would always give us these cookies when we visited her, if she didn’t eat all of them first. They were so mouthwatering—like all her food—and special because the were made with Grandma’s loving hands and heart.
