Oh, the flavor and aroma is truly wonderful, even with the regular Hershey's chips! I followed the recipe exactly and made sure to chill my dough thoroughly; the 1T size cookies made a flatter, crispier cookie, the 2T size is more puffed and chewier. I used Junior Mints instead of the Andes-could only find the creme de menthe Andes and did not want that green color for my purposes-and found that "squishing" the junior mint a bit to crack it before putting it on top the cookie helped it melt and spread a bit better. The junior mint size matched better to the 1 T cookie. Using a measured scoop and a double batch yielded 96 1T cookies (with no snitching lol) My best idea was using peppermint-flavored Decors to add some color and even more interest-just sprinkled it onto the melted mints on top. My husband loved these and wanted 4 dozen to take to work; and I am going to be shipping some to my brother in Iraq. For the last dozen I ran out of junior mints and just dipped the cookie dough balls into a dish of the Decor sprinkles before baking. I think these will ship better, were much quicker, and just about as pretty. Thank you for a wonderful recipe, it is definitely Christmas Cookie material~!
