I was at a cookie exchange last night and one of my friends made a peppermint cookie with lemon frosting.  It was such an interesting combination, I just had to try it!  Wow! It was awesome!  First thing this morning I got to work trying to come up with a “clean” version of that cookie.  Here it is, and it turned out really great!  I hope you like them!
