We love mint in this house. From mint ice cream to thin mints or candy canes, whatever the season we eat a lot of mint. After I found a plethora of mint down by the pond, I need to make a few recipes from them. My first step was to make Mint Simple Syrup, after I had that piece finished, I really could make anything. I tried to make a mint chocolate chip cookie recipe and they turned out delicious!
