This recipe came from my mom’s Grandma Alice, who taught her how to bake. Grandma Alice always had a fresh plate of warm cookies on her counter. I learned some of her recipes by heart as a child, and I’ve been making these since high school. They taste like Christmas.\u2014Kristin Bowers, Rancho Palos Verdes,

I did forget mint in half the batch and they still tasted so good! The espresso came out more without the mint, but was still subtle enough that I'd recommend these to people who don't like coffee. When I pulled the batches out of the oven they still looked underdone on top so I stuck them in for an extra minute. While warm this was perfect, they did cook more on the pan and when cool firmed up greatly. I would have taken them out while a bit underdone next time - which really is what the recipe says: when beginning to brown, take out. The time in the recipe is perfect too.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"223269","romance_copy_dek":"This recipe came from my mom's Grandma Alice, who taught her how to bake.
