On a Sunday morning, this frittata with potatoes and cheese tastes wonderful either by itself or with some fruit.

I added ground walnuts and a little more peppermint extract only because my family likes nuts in all their cookies. Great tasting and so easy to make. I can quickly mix the ingredients before work and bake while I am preparing dinner . No need to turn the oven on again I have dessert for dinner and cookies the next day for lunch I made the cookies smaller than the recipe.

These were great! I did think that it was a little too much peppermint for me so I’ll try it with less next time.

This yielded some very delicious crinkle cookies! The peppermint really adds a wonderful layer to the very chocolatey cookie. Will make these again!
