I just made mint chocolate chip cookies using yerba santa (piper auritum) and apple mint and they taste like toothpaste flavored cookies. Literally swallowing down toothpaste, tingly cold sensation and all. 😩😭😭😭

@jblue oh bummer, that sounded like a good idea!
And they look good as well.

Ah, I wish we could taste each other recipes. I wonder if everyone would taste the flavor in the same way. I had a conversation here the other day about fresh vs dried mint. I only like fresh mint tea, but to the other person the fresh mint tea tastes like toothpaste. Not to me. I've never tried Yerba Santa, though.
