I didn't allow myself down.

 These cookie are divine. They're thence soft they should last called a "cakie" instead of a cookie. The mint season isn't equally overwhelming as, say, a York Peppermint Patty. But it's potent plenty to deliver the coolness that contrasts thence beautifully amongst the depth of chocolate.
