I have been looking for you, but so far haven't had much luck. Do you know where these cookies originated?

If you find something let me know.

Mojito Cookies

Here is a very good recipe with all the same ingredients as a Mojito.

Cuban Coolers
1/2 c Butter
2/3 c Sugar
1 Egg
2 tb Milk
2 tb Rum
1 1/2 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking soda
2 ts Chopped lime zest
4 tb Chopped mint leaves

Preheat oven to 350F
1.Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and rum.
2.Mix together the flour and baking soda, and stir into the batter, but do not overmix. Stir in the lime zest and mint leaves. Let the batter rest several hours before baking.
3.Drop the batter in spoonfuls about 2 inches apart, onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 mins. or until cookies are slightly browned around the edges. Cool on a wire rack.

That's a recipe that merstarr was looking for when the food network was just closing down it's forum. I started talking to him about inventing a recipe when he suggested I hop on over to DC....and the rest is history! (I wonder whatever happened to him....)
I'm so glad you found this - we never did get the recipe done! Thanks!

You are welcome, jkath.

I heard about those.
They were on Food Network on the show, "Recipe for Success".
I must say, I can understand why you want them, Just from looking I can tell they would be delicious.
