Comments: |
Note 1: I usually double this recipe for Christmas and use raspberry jam for half the cookies and mint jelly for the other half.
Note 2: Easy mint jelly: heat a small jar of apple jelly until just melted. Add a few drops of peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring. Pour back into jat and let cool. Viola, mint jelly.> |
