UPDATE #2: SENT MY BF W/ SOME OF THESE TO SHARE AT WORK. HIS MOM (A DIABETIC) HAD TWO!!! UPDATE: THESE ARE W-I-C-K-E-D GOOD IF YOU LET THEM SIT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. MY BF & I DIDN'T CARE FOR THESE HOT OUT OF THE OVEN BUT WE DO NOW!!! THE MINT FLAVOR INTENSIFIES W/ TIME, MAKING THEM TASTE LIKE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!!! Good cookie! Made these w/ my niece Sat. night. Every time my sister & her family come to visit (she has 2 kiddos - one of them LOVES to cook!) it is a tradition for my nieces to spend 1 night w/ me. We usually bake a batch of cookies & then watch a movie or play Rock Band... lol. These were not only EASY to make (my niece practically made them herself), but also very tasty! Many cooks have offered great tips & tricks for those interested in reading all of the reviews. The tips most helpful to me were Joelle B. & DenaB's (thanks!). I made 20 decent sized cookies using my 3 T Pampered Chef cookie scoop. It took 9 min. for my cookies to bake to perfection - a slightly chewy, brownie-like consistency. I used Andes creme de menthe wafers (1 per cookie), but would have liked to have tried w/ another variety (I thought I saw Andes raspberry & caramel varieties b4, but couldn't find them at the store... perhaps these flavors are seasonal???). Overall good cookie, but the mint taste was a bit weak (IMHO). I think I'll add 1/4 t mint extract or 1/2 semi-sweet / 1/2 mint choc. chips next time to jazz these up a bit. Thx. :)
