Blending tip
You can do this by hand but using a compact blender works best and completes the job quickly.
Using a blender add the sugar and mint leaves. Blend until the sugar has changed colour from white.

mintcookie-tray
Spacing Tip
Make sure that you leave enough space for the cookies to spread without touching.

Line the trays with grease proof paper. Using a teaspoon, scoop evenly sized piles of the mixture on to the paper. Some ingredients can cause the mixture to be drier. If that is the case then roll an amount of the mixture into a ball and gently flatten onto the tray.
