the cookies were amazing, but one thing the recipe calls for thin mint cookies which in fact are girl scout cookies which in fact have nothing to do with this recipe; the recipe actually needs Andes Mints (the mint that you get in restaurants after dinner.) we wasted a lot of time and money on purchasing grasshoppers (thin mint substitute.)

These are very, very good and not hard at all to make.

Amazing. I thought they sounded a little complicated, but it turned out to be really easy and they tasted great!

I have to say yum :) I made these for my dad for his birthday. He absolutely loves GS Thin Mint cookies so I made these for him. He did say they don't taste like them, but they are still very good. I did decide to make a dozen without the Andes candies melted on top just in case they were too much for some people, and they too were amazing! I definitely will make these again. Oh, I did one thing differently; I didn't have semi-sweet chocolate chips so I used 1 cup dark chocolate chips and 1 cup mild chocolate chips instead.

These are delicious. I brought them to a graduation party and got RAVE reviews from everyone. I followed to a T. I personally thought the cookies were delish even without the mint. I did put 1/2 a mint on some, a full one on the smaller cookies seemed to be too much. But delicious!!!

Awesome cookie!! Every month I try to make new cookies and within the past year this one is by far the best - will add to the Christmas list! At first I was concerned that the candy would not melt but by the time I finished placing candy on the last cookie the first one was ready to be spread. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great!

This has become a favorite. It took some time to get the feel of the cookies. I ended up putting the dough into the fridge overnight (even though it was a lot harder it seemed the cookies turned out better.) A metal cookie scoop from Pampered Chef made scooping the hard cookie dough out no problem even after sitting in the fridge all night. These cookies are definitely a cookie you do NOT want to over bake. I found 10 minutes cookie time was exactly perfect for these (and letting them sit on the cookie sheet for 1 minute. I ended up using only half of a Andes Candy on each cookie a whole piece just made the cookies to rich if you make the cookies walnut sized (this is with using parchment paper on my cookie sheet so my cookies didn't really spread out much.) I loved the ones that have a lil bit of green left on the top of the cookie I wish that more of the cookies had the brown/green swirls in them but unfortunately it is hard to keep the swirls in sometimes. I think I may add a 1/8 teaspoon of mint extract to the cookie dough next time (I just want a hint of mint in the actual cookie so figure 1/8 of teaspoon might just be enough.) If you overbake the cookies they seem to taste a bit more like thin mints (crunchy) but I prefer them soft and chewy. I found taking them out when the cookie began to crack that it seemed like it was the perfect time. At first it seemed like the cookies were underdone but after they cooled they were perfect. Just don't overbake these co

Sooooooo good. Like a Girl Scout Thin Mint, but chewy. I make these every Christmas. You really only need to use 1/3 of an Andee's mint on top of each cookie if they're small (2 in. diameter). Excellent recipe!

Another 5-star rating -- we loved these cookies! I found that I had to let the mint set for several minutes (not just one) before it was soft enough to spread, but otherwise, the recipe went off without a glitch. I'm already thinking ahead to Christmas - these will be great for my neighborhood cookie swap!

Before making these, I read a review where it is described in great detail how to make the mint melt and swirl properly -- giving me the impression that these were going to be difficult, and that I was going to have to play around with them to get them to look good. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I sprayed a baking spray on the cookie sheets, and dropped the cookies using a table spoon-sized ice cream scoop. I unwrapped a whole box of mints while the cookies were baking. When they were done (I found they didn't spread much, and I had put 15 on each sheet) I immediately put a whole mint on top of each cookie. After placing each mint, I immediately took a spoon and swirled each mint. My cookies came out perfectly swirled and beautiful. I don't think there's really any reason to make this more complicated than it has to be. I've baked better chocolate cookies, but as far as the mint aspect of this cookie goes, it was a brilliant idea and all too easy for the attractive and impressive result!

Followed the recipe exactly. Loved the cookies. My husband who isnt fond of chocolate or mints even said they were good. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This cookie is definaltely good! I was eating the dough as fast as I could get the things cooked! The description is good- they "melt in your mouth" more than other cookies. It is just a very smooth, soft cookie. I will make this one over and over again!

The actual cookie part of this recipe wasn't great, the only thing that makes this recipe good is the melted mint on top. However, the melted mint makes it very good with a taste reminiscent of girl scout thin mints. Very easy to make and I will make again.

These were very good! Not spectacular but very good nonetheless. I admit it's a lot of work, but if u love mint, you'll love these cookies. My cookies lack crunchiness, but perhaps that happen coz i reduced the sugar (with 200gr, the sweetness is just perfect, not too sweet, but still sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth). I use parchment paper so i didn't grease the pan, and it still slides of easily. Oh, and they didn't spread much too.

My boyfriend's parents loved these cookies, and so do I! Absolutely scrumtrulescent! :)

I am so grateful for this site because I have found absolutely the best cookie recipes here. I made these for my boyfriend (who I bake cookies for every 2 weeks or so - he's in the navy) and each week he declares the cookies I sent "the best ever". Well these were no exception. He said they are the best cookies he's ever tasted and all of his fellow navy friends all gushed about them too. As a cholcoate/mint lover myself, these tasted absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe to a tee. Thank you!

Yummy! I used half butter, half margarine as I do all my cookies. Margarine helps keep them from spreading too much (keeps them thicker). Once done, I let the cookies settle for about a minute, placed the mint into the top of the cookie, and flipped it using a knife once the edges started to look melted. These aren't good until the mint is hardened after melting, so if you really can't wait, pop them in the fridge and they will harden quicker.:-) Very good, very different, very enjoyable. Try them zapped a few seconds in the microwave with mint chocolate chip ice cream on top. WOW! :-) Update: Just a thought, the cookies where I spread the chocolate mint around a bit (and made a thinner layer of chocolate) taste a lot better than the ones where I left the mint to melt in the center. Those basically taste like a chocolate cookie with a mint in the middle. The others have almost a mint "icing". Those are the best!:-)

We loved these, and my 7-yr old wants to take them to class for his birthday. The only change I made was to use 2 C mint chocolate chips (very minty!) and 1/2 piece of After 8's on each cookie.

I did not care for this recipe.

They were good, I followed the recipe and the reviews respectively... and well, yeah. They were good. Nothing spectacular. Then again, I don't know as if any chocolate mint cookie can compare to Hershey's Double Chocolate Mint Chip recipe on the back of the chocolate mint chip bag.
