Chocolate Mint Cookies
These Chocolate Mint Cookies are made with Andes Mint baking pieces and are seriously like a little piece of heaven in your mouth! I remember having my first taste of Andes Mints when I was about 5 or 6 years old. My dad had convinced me to let him pull my loose tooth out by saying he would reward me with one of his precious Andes Mint afterwards. Boy was the reward worth the fear! Not only will these cookies melt in your mouth, but they are so good it’s impossible to eat just one.

My local grocery store did not carry the Andes mint baking pieces, but I was able to find them at Target. So check there if your local grocery store doesn’t carry them.
