I decided to have my hubby take some of these petite melt away mint cookies to work and my 3 year old granddaughter was eating her breakfast and she said to me, I want one grandma. I had some with chocolate and some without.

And so I set some aside and went to work on the computer. When I finished, I went into the kitchen and the 3 or 4 cookies that had chocolate on top were no where to be found??? And so I asked my little granddaughter about the cookies and she said that she ate one and that mom ate one.

So I asked mom and she said that she had not eaten any. Hmmm? I don’t remember if there were 3 or 4, but I’m pretty sure that there were 4. And so if you are wondering if your grand kids will like them, the answer is YES!

Tips and Tricks For Petite Melt Away Mint Cookies:

• Make sure that you do not over bake the cookies as they will go hard and crunchy!
• If you are giving petite melt away cookies as a gift, place of few of the mints on top of the cookie before baking them.
• Red chocolate melted would be really cute for Christmas!

And I can say that they were a hit at my hubby’s work as well. Try some today, or if you have a fun get together you may just want to whip up a batch. If the grand kids are coming over you can always let them drizzle the chocolate on top.

I hope that you all have the best day ever and that where ever you live that the sun is shining. It is very cloudy here and overcast. However, tomorrow is suppose to be a sunny day and I can’t wait!
