Andes Crème de Menthe Chunk Cookies

I was looking for a cookie to make for a school function, the annual Cookie Extravaganza, and found Andes baking chips in the baking aisle in the supermarket. I love Andes mints so I thought I’d try the recipe on the back of the package, Andes creme de menthe chunk cookies. Am I glad I did! So is my family! and the friends who received them! The teachers and kids at school, too! Minty goodness! Some of the best recipes come from the back of packages.

You may think, that since these cookies are mint, you should only make them during the holidays. Not so. For me, mint is a delicious year-round flavor. After all, you could serve them for a Kentucky Derby party. They would go well with mint juleps.

This is not your typical cookie dough. It’s very difficult to stir in the Andes chips and flour so I put on food-safe gloves and worked it with my hands until it was combined. That took no time at all. Don’t skip the chilling part. I’ve made these Andes creme de menthe cookies a few times now. I did the one hour chilling and once I did overnight. Both worked fine. When you flatten the cookies make sure they are consistent so they bake evenly. The recipe says it makes 4 dozen but I used a 1-inch (ice cream type) scoop and I got a little more than 6 dozen.
