Hi Jenny I looked in the archives of the MT news paper and found a recipe but I was not sure if this is the one you were looking for. I hope this is it. If not let me know and I will look some more. Happy Holidays.

CHRISTMAS BUTTERMINT KISS COOKIES

2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon mint extract*
4 egg yolks
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Green food coloring*
2 to 3 pkgs. candy chocolate kisses

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream butter and sugar. Add extracts and yolks. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Add drops of food coloring until nice green color. Mix well. Roll into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten to 1/2-inch thickness.

Bake at 350 degree for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, put an upside down candy kiss in center. Remove to rack to cool. (By putting the kiss upside down, they are easier to stack.)

*Make red cookies using 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon cherry flavoring and red food coloring instead of the mint and green food coloring.
