每年耶诞节前，总有好几家朋友办饼干交换爬梯。每个爬梯都要做三打饼干，于是节前那个礼拜我们家都要花好多时间烘焙，家里总是飘着饼干的甜香。今年我们做的是前年交换爬梯我们试过所有饼干后，最喜欢的一款－－巧克力薄荷饼干。
我家贝贝超喜欢烘焙，是妈妈的好帮手。
这款饼干出炉后还要拿牙签把软化的mint chocolate画圈圈。
饼干饼干，热闹滚滚

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Rollcookie dough into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, be careful not to overbake. When cookies come out of the oven, Press one mint wafer into the top of each cookie and let sit for 1 minute. When the mint is softened, swirl with the back of a spoon or toothpick to make a pattern with the green filling of the mint wafer. For smaller cookies, break mints in half.
