Mint cookies are a delightful dessert of French cuisine that brings the freshness and aroma of summer gardens to the world of baking. The origins of this treat lie in the traditions of using fresh herbs in cooking, especially in regions where mint is valued for its refreshing taste. The lightness of the buttery dough combined with the natural mint aroma creates an extraordinary harmony—delicate, crumbly cookies with subtle herbal notes. They are perfect for morning tea or evening coffee and can also be a wonderful addition to a dessert table. The key is to store them in a closed jar to maintain their softness and rich flavor. This recipe is not only simple to prepare but will also provide true pleasure to anyone who tries this exquisite dessert.
