In reply to Christine E. I think the andes mints would work just fine! Even with the same amount of extract called for. They will still be amazing and minty! :)

These look amazing! I would like to try to bake these tonight – I have all of the ingredients aside from the Creme de Menthe chips. I probably have a scant quarter cup of andes mints (after breaking them up) I could use – any suggestions for adjusting the mint extract amount to make up for any mint lack as a result?

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this awesome recipe! I made a TRIPLE batch today to give as gifts. They are so rich and delicious, good thing is if you are watching your weight you can only eat 1 or 2 because they are really decadent. I ate 2 small ones with a glass of milk tonight and it was such a wonderful treat. Oh and just so you all know I followed the recipe and instructions except for these differences:

1. I couldn’t find the de menthe chips so bought packages of andes mints and 1 package (unwrapped and hand chopped) was equal to about 1 cup. Again I tripled the recipe so needed 3 cups.
2. I didn’t want the cookies to flatten too much so I refrigerated the dough for around 5 hours or more first.
3. I didn’t drop by spoonfulls because the dough was hard from being in the fridge, I just took off about a tablespoon or 2 size by my hands and kind of rolled it a little, not much because I didn’t want to smoosh the chips. Then I just put then on the baking sheet.
4. In between batches I kept the dough cold in the fridge.
5. I used parchment on the cookie sheets.
6. I found that for my oven each batch needed to cook around 11 to 11-1/2 minutes, plus another 2 cooled on sheet, then transfer to wire rack.

They turned out so awesome, they are about 2″ sized rounds, some smaller, the size is perfect especially because they are so rich, they are nice and chewy and plump…just the way I like my cookies.

I would love to ad a photo if you can tell me how to do so.
Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!
