Posted April 20, 2012 by paula Rating I've made these twice now and really enjoy. I added more lemon and mint. Might need a tiny drop of peppermint extract as the mint is pretty to look at, but not very minty. The smaller one-inch cookies (using tiny scoop-don't flatten) bake up light and airy like clouds.
