Sea Salt Mint White Mocha Cookies image

This recipe came from my mom's Grandma Alice, who taught her how to bake. Grandma Alice always had a fresh plate of warm cookies on her counter. I learned some of her recipes by heart as a child, and I've been making these since high school. They taste like Christmas.-Kristin Bowers, Rancho Palos Verdes, California
