  1. These were TOO good!! I used 2 cups AP flour 1/2 wheat (I try to sneak it in when I can). Turned out great, almost brownie like. My kind of cookie! We only had Andes Crème de Menthe chips on hand, so I used those which took a little more work. I'm definitely going to use the regular mint candies and upping it to a whole one instead of half. The more gooey mint, the better! I've always made the recipe from the back of the Andes Chips for Christmas, but am replacing it with this from now on. My 2 daughters both rate this as "Awesome". Thank you so much for posting this gem!
     
  2. Oh My Goodness! So, Delicious that they are addictive... Easy, moist, soft and just downright lovely. Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe!
     
  3. Changed the water to chocolate syrup and added 10 oz dark chocolate & mint chips instead of 12 oz semi-sweet. Great cookies without the mint candy topping.
     
  4. Thank God you posted this recipe. I lost my copy and these are a family holiday favorite. We use a whole mint for each cookie and swirl with a toothpick to get a pretty marbled look. They all go down the same, though. YUMMY!!!!
     
  5. My oldest son really likes mint flavored things so I made these for a party w/him in mind. Well, he wasnt the only one who loves these. They were much easier to make than they sounded. Will make these anytime I see Andes candies on sale.
