I made this cookie and thought it was a bit bland at first. But then I found a mint icing and it tasted wonderful! Use the extra tea bags and a drop of the mint extract and drink the tea with the cookies for a wonderful minty sweet treat!

Made these for St. Patrick's Day and I noticed the batter was more yellow than green, so I added food coloring. I was also timid about the amount of mint extract called for, so I used only 1/4 tsp. It has a nice hint of mint this way, but I think I'd try at least 1/2 tsp next time. I toyed with the idea of adding sugar like another reviewer suggested, but in the end I left the recipe as-is, and instead melted white chocolate chips and drizzled on top to sweeten. The cookie is basically a shortbread cookie, and it is NOT very sweet, so if you want it to be, definitely try adding some sugar in addition to the honey. Fun recipe! Thanks for adding!

I loved them, but my boyfriend really disliked them. (Took a bite and spit it back out begging for something to get the taste out. Charming, I know) I used chamomile tea, 1/2 t of vanilla extract and one crushed peppermint candy. It looked really dry before chilling so I took the advice of other reviewers and added about a 1/3 C of sugar. Fixed it right up! I also rolled them into balls and fork/pressed them (I hate rolling cookie dough) Will definitely be making these again, maybe for a baby shower or girls night in!

I remember trying his recipe a long time ago. But I used Matcha green tea(powdered green tea they use for like frappes and such). I has more of the green tea flavor. Regular green tea is too light of a flavor. And in my opinion, lemongrass and peppermint are not a good pair.

Tasty and unique. I tasted more peppermint than green tea, so if you are hesitant because of that ingredient, be not afraid. I didn't have the patience for shaping, so I rolled into balls and then flattened them. These cookies don't brown much, even when they are done, so watch carefully. Not surprisingly, these are a great cookie to have with tea!

This is a fun recipe. I made mine gluten free, using my own blend of flours and 2 tsp. zanthum gum. I also used 1/4 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 cup agave nectar instead of honey, grapefruit tropical green tea, 1/4 tsp. peppermint oil instead of extract, added about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (which work great if chopped up). Mine turned out speckled, not green like the picture, but they still look pretty nice.

Honestly, I don't know how anybody made these! I followed the recipe exactly and had a bowl of something that resembled cracker crumbs. Impossible to roll out into a dough form. What a bummer.

I expected these cookies to taste somewhat like the green tea ice cream I've had before, but they were nothing like it. The mint and honey flavors were overpowering and the cookies were not sweet enough and I'm the type of person who usually reduces the sugar in everything I bake! I saved the ingredients by adding sugar, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips, which turned them in to tasty, chewy mint-chocolate chip cookies that were enjoyed at a holiday party that evening.
