Andes Chocolate Mint Cookies
This delicious chocolate chip cookie uses Andes creme de menthe baking chips for a lovely chocolaty-minty flavor. It's based on a Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookie copycat recipe, so the flavors are so very scrumptious. Wonderful dessert for tailgating or office parties, potlucks, backyard barbecues or Christmas Cookie Exchanges.
