Chocolate Mint Butter Cookies: frosted rich chocolaty cookies with a hint of mint. Perfect for Christmas, Valentine's Day or any day.

For those new here, Fill the Cookie Jar is a monthly post by some fabulous bloggers. We each bake a cookie based on our theme and then share the recipes. Be sure to keep scrolling past the recipe to see what “love”ly cookies the other bloggers made.
