These are delightful! My granddaughter Timber and I made these - she is constantly looking for the perfect cookie. These were fun and very, very good. A festive cookie for Christmas. We did add 1/4 tsp of mint extract 'cos we like mint.

These were some of the best cookies I have ever made and I bake quite a lot. I followed the instructions to a T and they came out perfect. Very moist and chocolaty and the Andes Candies on top were amazing. Definitely will make again!

I made these for a cookie exchange this year and they were fantastic! My family even likes them without the mint on top - very chewy.

Made these for the first time tonight. All I can say is, I will NEVER have buy another box of Thin Mints - these are even better! Made them almost exactly according to the recipe - just added 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract after the eggs, as a previous poster suggested.

I used this recipe for the dough, and then stirred in white chocolate chips. They turned out great. I'd like to try it with the mints too.

Amazing cookies! I followed the recipe exactly and found it to be a bit more work than I would usually put into a cookie, but it was worth it! I don't think my chocoates were wafers, however. They were part Hersheys and part Ghiradelli dark chocolate with natural mint ("Mint Bliss"), because that's what my husband picked up at the store for me. I broke the squares into quarters and put one on each cookie. They melted perfectly and the cookies tasted almost divine! Thanks for a great recipe!

I don't know what I did wrong but these cookies did not work out for me. I didn't have the wafers, so I used a bag of mint chocolate chips. I also doubled the recipe so I wonder if that is what did it. The dough itself was more like cake batter, and the cookies, although they smelled very minty, cooked really thin and ended up being crispy, no matter how many batches I made, and I ended up having to throw it all out.

These were good cookies. Made these for Christmas gifts and had same problem as another person with the mint flavor mingling with the other cookies on the tray. Will probably make again but will not package with other cookies.

These cookies are delicious! I made them exactly as the recipe stated and I thought they were excellent! I brought them to a Christmas party and I got lots of requests for the recipe and I came home with an empty plate! This cookie will be a regular on my baking list! Thanks!

These cookies were SO SO good! Almost like little brownie bites. As did some other reviewers, I made a couple modifications to the directions of the recipe in order to make an already simple recipe even more simplified. I did not cook the butter/sugar/water/chocolate mixture on the stove. I did all of the heating in the microwave. In a glass bowl on high heat, I cooked the butter, sugar and water for one minute, stirred well. Then I added the chocolate chips, stirred well, and cooked at high again for one minute. Then I stirred it again until the chips were completely melted into the mixture. From there I followed the directions exactly. I used whole broken up "After Eight" mints on some and used a really delicious chocolate orange truffle bar on some of the others. They were fantastic and very easy to make. I will definitely be making these again. My thighs thank you for sharing the recipe!! :)

I made these cookies exactly as per the recipe and they were wonderful...very chewy and tasty. I found that my small Pampered Chef scoop with a 1/2 Andes candy mint on top of each cookie worked perfectly. My only complaint is that when I put them on a cookie tray with other cookies, some of the other cookies began to taste like mint (especially soft cookies like chocolate chip and shortbreads). Any ideas on how to prevent this? I think these are a great Christmas cookie, but am hesitant to make them in the future for Christmas because of them tainting the other cookies on the tray. Thanks!

These are the best cookies I made all day (and trust me, I made alot)! :) I used the Mint Parfit Andes Candies and just set them on top of the cookie as soon as they came out of the oven. After a few minutes I swirled the candy around the top of the cookie with a toothpick... very pretty pale green and chocolate swirls. Did I mention that these are DELICIOUS?! Soft, chewy, and just the right amount of mint.

I had problems - Perhaps the insulated cookie sheets were the problem? - or my high altitude (Denver). My cookies turned out flat and very very hard once they cooled... so be careful if using those insulated sheets - it required a longer cooking time which I think ruined the cookies. Or maybe it was the altitude - not sure? Normally my altitude doesn't affect cookies too much - but who knows!
