DELICIOUS! I'm usually wary of trying recipes that don't have at least 30 reviews, but I really like Girl Scout thin mints, so I thought I'd try. These don't taste like thin mints, but they're still very good. I made small cookies and used half an Andes mint for each one. The chocolate takes some time to cool down and harden again. I think it tastes better when the chocolate is hardened and not melted.

These cookies are wonderful!! They taste like Girl Scout Thin Mints, especially when 1/2 of an Andes candy is melted on top. Yum!

Very yummy. Easy to make and soft. They took about 9 minutes to cook and came out perfect! I may add a little more sugar next time but otherwise really good. I could not get the toothpick thing to work so I just mushed the candy with a spoon.

This cookie was a hit at our Christmas Party. Everyone loved them, even the folks that don't care for mint. Delicious and rich, but not overly minty, which I like. My daughter is mint crazy, and loves these. Thanks Jackie!

My mom makes tons of various cookies for Christmas but at least twice as many of these because they go so fast!

These are REALY GOOD! I had some "Andes" Creme De Menthe baking chips on hand and wanted to make something with them. This was the right thing I only had 1 cup of regular chocolate chips so I used 1 cup of the "Andes" chips with it. Then sprinked the chips on when the cookies were done. A piece of mint would have been less messy- but sometimes you use what you have- I made small, 2-bite size cookies and got almost 100.

Excellent Cookie! I split the chocolate dough in half before I put it into the fridge and added nuts to one half. I broke the ande's mints in half before I put them into the plain chocolate dough as others suggested. No mint in ones with nuts. I used a mellon ball scooper to make perfect size cookies. GREAT RECIPE and EASY

What a great cookie, especially for the holidays. My friends and coworkers raved about these cookies. Be prepared for the amount this recipe makes - I halved the recipe and came out with almost twice the amount I expected.

These cookies are excellant!! Now would someone please come take them away?? If they stay in my house, I will eat every single one!!! I made these a bit smaller than directed because I wanted more cookies. I placed half of a mint on each. I think next time I will splurge and place an entire mint on each.
