Andes Peppermint Crunch Chunkies

Submitted by coconutcream

"I got this recipe from a bag of Andes new peppermint crunch baking chips. The flavor is fabulous, but for some reason, when I baked them, they wouldn't bake through and I had to scrape them off the cookie sheets. They ended up being tasty, slightly chewy blobs... Perhaps someone will be brave enough to try this or to help me figure out how to fix the recipe?"

My favorite cookie since I first made them about five years ago. The recipe is no longer printed on the bag, so I was glad to find it here.

These were awesome! I wound up dumping the whole bag of peppermint chips into the batter, before I realized it said to save some for the tops. Didn't hurt! For easier cleanup, etc., I'd suggest lining your baking sheets with parchment paper. I did, and they did beautifully. No, sticking, and clean-up was a breeze! A definite keeper.

Hubby made these and since he isn't a coconut fan he replaced the cup of coconut with a cup of white chocolate chips. I took them to work with other holiday treats and my boss and coworker LOVED these the best!!!

For this recipe I used light brown sugar instead of the dark & walnuts for the pecans. This has to be the BEST cookie I've ever eaten, not kidding. The falimy LOVED these. Can't wait to make more. It's a keeper for sure!!!
