We are officially half way through our holiday baking! The last cookie we finished up tonight was our Mint Surprises. Just like the name implies, these cookies have an Andes mint hidden inside. They are so well hidden, in fact, that we had to start making the icing on top green so people had warning!

Our recipe for Mint Surprises comes from the  Betty Crocker Best Christmas Cookbook just like our Spritz recipe. We’ve tweaked it a bit over the years to make the cookies a bit smaller.

Are you a fan of mint? If so then these cookies should definitely become a part of your #12CookiesofChristmas!
