Dine & Dish's Note:

I found this recipe on the back of Andes Crème de Menthe Baking Chips. I made a few small changes and am really pleased with the results! These cookies taste very similar to the Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookies!

This was a very delicious cookie recipe. My whole family enjoyed them. Will make them again soon. Thanks for posting.

Delicious! I use 1 c Andes baking mints and 1/2 c milk choc chips. I also added 1/4 tsp salt, in my opinion every cookie recipe needs some salt to balance out the sweet! I have made this recipe twice, once I refrigerated it and the other time I didn't. There wasn't a difference between the two that I noticed. Thanks KC_Cooker!
