I made these today for St. Patrick's day. Good cookie. Used 2 Cups flour. Chilled dough between batches. Used my thumb for print and reshaped afterward. Coming out of the oven I lightly pressed a Jr. Mint into the indent and then "pressed" out the wrinkles in the cookie. They look like the picture, round and puffy and green. The mint chip adds a nice touch with not much bother. The cookie is delicious!

Great cookies! I used 1/4 c. less flour and 2 tsp. peppermint extract. Yummy! I was putting together a tray for St. Patty's Day so I made a second batch using orange food coloring and orange extract, white chocolate and candied orange peel. Also yummy!
