Chewy Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

"I love Andes mints and when I found a bag of their mint chips I knew I had to make something out of them! This is an original recipe using those chips for a soft and chewy cookie. Their mint-chocolate goodness would do well served with an after dinner coffee."

  1. Had no problem finding some of mints similar to what you'd listed (not, however, Andes) & whipped these great tasting cookies up in no time at all! Took 'em to a park-wide potluck & along with a cracker snack mix that I made, these were gone in no time! Definitely a winner all around! Thanks for sharing another very nice keeper of a recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
