Today is another Merry Monday and the key ingredient is mint.
Run out and grab a bag of the Andes Creme De Menthe baking chips asap.
Then make these pretty little things…
They are full of chocolate mint flavor, have a touch of crisp around the edges, but are nice and soft in the middle. They practically melt in your mouth.

I loooove the combination of mint and chocolate (I actually just posted mini mint chocolate cheesecakes) and these cookies sound delicious! The drizzle is the perfect finishing touch.
Andes mints (or basically anything mint) are my favorite, these look delicious! And I bet the cream cheese makes them perfectly soft and chewy, yum!

I made these with Erin last night. I woke up at 6AM and looked at Dan. He was laying in bed eating one of them…WTF?
Then I took a bag of them to work. It’s 9AM and they are ALL GONE.
WONDERFUL. Thanks for the recipe!
I just stumbled on your blog and I LOVE IT. New follower.
these are right up my alley. i love anything minty.
Great cookies! They came out too soft and with a distinct flour taste, so I cooked them a little longer than the recipe indicates, around 15 minutes. They turned out perfectly!
How many cookies does this recipe make?
just a newbie to your blog and am loving the recipies
I made these tonight for my cookie exchange gathering tomorrow. Their flavor is “ok” but I’m really unsure as to why mine are so much fluffier than those in the picture. The dough was WAY too sticky to form into “rounded” TBSP, so they’re not near as pretty as the picture here. Either way, I hope they go over well with everyone tomorrow!
