Andes baking chips were not available in the grocery store I frequent so chopped up Andes mints instead. I used about 28 mints ( 7 oz ) and it was plenty. Baked them for 10 mins and they still came out very soft, the way my son likes his cookies. I addes a little salt, and that was the only alteration I made. Thank you for posting. They were delicious.

This is an awesome cookie. Loved the hint of mint from the Andes pieces. But the best part is that it's a great cookie base that you can flavor a thousand different ways!

These are wonderful I like chocolate, so I add 2 oz melted unsweetened chocolate to the dough a little extra baking powder, a pinch (yes I have a measuring spoon that is a pinch! :) of xanthan gum and these are great. Sometimes a little extra flour, it depends on how the dough comes together. I still measure my dry ingredients, so not as consistent as weighing. A drop of mint extract makes them extra minty. But I love mint. Good cookie basic to jump off from. Thanks

I think the addition of a little bit of salt would help these cookies. They just weren't my favorite, I think I prefer my mint to be in chocolate cookies.

I found this recipe years ago on the back of the Andes baking chips bag. This is a wonderful recipe and a great spin on the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe.
