I’m going to admit that the look wasn’t really what I was going for – but the taste sure is!  So if you get a better looking cookie than I do – I’d love to see it! 🙂

Ingredients:

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
5. Gradually add the dry mixed ingredients until just blended.

8. Roll the dough up into a tube shape with peppermint on the inside.
