I have a few cookie recipes that are a must for the holidays. My Ginger Molasses Cookies top the list and the White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal cookies are right behind them. These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are giving them a run for their money. They are super easy to make because we are starting the dough with melted butter. You do not need to pull out your mixer for this recipe. Just a mixing bowl and a whisk.
