Chocolate Mint Cookies(Taste Like Thin Mints!)
"Chewy chocolate cookies are topped with half of an Andres mint. They melt-in-your mouth, aren't too minty, and remind me of my very favorite girl scout thin mints. I found this on AllRecipes.com and made for a bake sale -- they were gone in a flash!
I made small cookies and used a half mint. For larger cookies, use a whole mint per cookie."

I consider myself a baker but these cookies were awful! I re-read the recipe 3 times to make sure I was doing it correctly and I could not get these to work. I am not sure if my cookies were too large but I had to throw the whole first batch in the garbage. The cookies were raw in the middle, so I made them smaller as each batch went and 10 minutes was still not enough time. Definitely disappointed, I am not sure that I will try baking them again. -
These were a absolutely fabulous! I wanted to try a new cookie for the holidays and saw this recipe. (I love thin mint GS cookies) I left some out for family, which were gobbled up immediately and had to fight to save the rest for Christmas. They'll definitely be made again! Thanks so much for posting! -
