These were fantastic! I found it easier to chop my mint in a mini food processor with the sugar, then just added the sugar/mint and the white choc chips in with the dry ingredients before adding the wet. Stirred everything together, plopped it on a piece of parchment paper and lightly kneaded any unmixed flour into the dough. Roughly shaped into a circle and cut into wedges. Baked for about 25 minutes. Topped with the mint glaze when finished baking. Delicious! I was afraid that the mint would be overpowering, but surprisingly not, it’s very subtle.
So glad you enjoyed them, Tammy! Those are some great tips, too. Thanks for sharing!
