  5. I’ve been looking for a peppermint extract since forever but I haven’t found one yet. And I really don’t know why I can’t find them. These cookies are so pretty. Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday party!

    Just made these and they are not green color at all. But still taste good.

    1. It doesn’t take a lot of food coloring to turn these cookies green – I recommend 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of coloring (which is a LOT).
