Gluten-Free Mint Grinch Cookies!

Gluten-Free Mint Grinch Cookies---

And the Grinch,

with his Grinch-feet

ice cold in the snow,

stood puzzling and puzzling,

how could it be SO?

It came without ribbons,

It came without tags,

It came without packages,

boxes or bags,

AND he puzzled

and puzzled

'till his puzzler was sore.

THEN the GRINCH

thought of something

he hadn't before,

What if CHRISTMAS, he thought,

doesn't come from a store.

What is CHRISTMAS, perhaps,

means a little bit more.

We love the Grinch! Santa was offered Grinch cookies and eggnog in our home for Christmas Eve! This recipe was liberally interpreted and made into a mint gluten-free version from a recipe on Simplistically Living...Crinkly, Cranky, Grinch Cookies
