Creme De Menthe Chip Cookies

These cookies scream of Christmas, errr, sorry, the Holidays.  The salty minty buttery flavors lure people close to the cookie jar and though their first reaction is to say no, even though they were, technically, offered any.  They then talk through their decision to actually have one as though it is a therapy session and not just a cookie jar sitting out in the open.   Yes, I do take the lid off and let the cookies do their own work.

Ingredients 

• 2 sticks of unsalted butter, browned and at room temperature 
• 1 cup of light brown sugar
