They were so good when I made them last night. They remained soft until the next day. However, they turned out a little bit flatter than I expected. They were delicious though so I didn't mind. Also, I used chopped up bittersweet chocolate block (500g -- slightly more than the 2 cups in the recipe) instead of chips so maybe that made a difference.

I uused the thin mint chips and mixed them in with the dough. This was a lot easier and I'd seen previous reviews recommending this. I thought this was just an ok cookie, the mint flavor was a little too strong for me and the cookies were crispier than I prefer.

These are good, but very rich. Make them smaller and use 1/2 of a mint candy. I made these for two friends who like chocolate mint candies. They liked them, but no "wow" factor.

The taste was good, but they didn't really seem to hold up very well. After a few days they were fairly stale, even though the other cookies I had made the same day (peanut butter blossoms and sugar cookies) were still fresh and chewy.

Pretty strong on the mint side. 1/2 of the andies mint would actually do. Very good cookies.

VERY good! I must say, though, I almost threw these out. I followed the directions perfectly, refrigerated for one hour...and it was still very wet. There was no way I was forming balls out of that dough. So I put it back in the refrigerator for another hour or so and it was better, but still not rollable. I spooned them onto the cookie sheet like a regular cookie and baked them. They came out big and flat as a pancake! Tasted alright, but did not look pretty at all. I threw those cookies out and luckily stuck the dough in the fridge overnight. Tried again the next morning. Rolled my little balls, baked for 8 minutes and voila! They came out perfect. I melted 1/2 the Andes mint on each cookie, swirled it with a spoon and let them harden on the counter. They tasted just like a Girl Scout Thin Mint, except they were chewy, which was awesome. Definitely making these again, but I'll plan to leave the dough in the fridge overnight from now on.

Another 5 star rating! These were the favorite of the 7 Christmas cookie recipes I made this year. I sprinkled Andes baking chips on cookies - no swirling required. I also mixed everything in the original pan and left the dough in the fridge overnite. Set out to soften about 1 hr. before shaping. Thanks for the great recipe!

These cookies are delicious enough to eat even without the candy mint on top. I did try a cherry chocolate Andes and preferred the mint one.

I've made these several times. They are easy and delicious! Parchment paper works great. I use a small (~1T) cookie scoop and half a mint per cookie (yields ~6 dozen cookies). Since the cookies are rich, this is a nice size. There are 28 mints in the usual Andes package, so you'll need a little more than one package if you make them this size and use a half mint each. At 10 minutes, they come out a little puffy and underdone-looking, but they deflate quickly and assume a perfect crunchy, chewy texture as they cool.

I rarely bake but I made these for Christmas and what a hit! No one believed I made them. My family thought they came in a box and I just melted the mint on top! I definitely will make these again.

These cookies are great. A couple things I did were sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on before baking them and if you have them and want a different option other than mint is to put a peanut butter cup or caramel filled chocolate. Absolutely amazing!!

Oh my, these are delicious! And so simple to make, since the recipe doesn't involve the perilous creaming method. I experimented with both andes mints and halved ghirardelli chocolate mint squares and surprisingly preferred the andes mint hands down. I also found that a spoon worked much better than a toothpick to swirl the chocolate at the end. Thanks for the recipe!

These are a must bake! I was baking them for friends as I am not a big fan of mint and chocolate, but I cannot stop eating them myself. 1/2 Andes per cookie is plenty and make sure to put the imprinted side of the candy face down.
