These are knock-down, drag-out AMAZING cookies. I did use Butter-flavor Crisco (just makes a better lookin' cookie!). MILK choc chips, and therefore cut the brown sugar to one cup. Milk instead of water. And, Andes Baking Chips. (Mixed some in with the dough). Then, sprinkled the Andes Baking Chips over the hot cookies and spread. IF these last until Xmas, I know they'll be requested year after year.

A great recipe that can be modified with different flavored chips in the cookie and different cadies melted on top.

I often think choc. cookies are a bit dry. These weren't. They had a nice chewy consistency. I used my cookie scoop instead of rolling balls, so it went really quickly. It made about 80 cookie-scoop size cookies.

I hate to give this a low rating, because I had such high hopes for it! My cookies turned out flat as crackers. I adjusted for higher altitude, but I think the problem is the melted butter. If I try this recipe again, I may try just softening the butter and creaming it with the sugar instead of melting it fully, since typically a flat cookie means your butter was TOO soft. Good idea, though!

THE BEST COOKIE EVER! this cookie is very easy but sounds hard. i dont know if you have "after 8" mints in the usa but that is what i used and they were wonderful. after 8 is like a very thin peppermint patty. wow these were amazing. i did not care for the cookie itself but once the mint was added it was fantastic. we put the left overs in the freezer. the frozen cookies tasted like mint girl scout cookies and i put them in the microwave and they are even better! do try this cookie as u will not be disappointed.

One word sums up my cookie experience: DISASTER. The cookies were flat as pancakes and stuck to the pan. Unfortunately, I had to throw away almost all of the recipe. Considering I'm not at a high altitude, I really don't know what could have happened. I followed the recipe exactly. It seems that a few others had a similar experience...

awesome recipe! delicious cookies and even looks delicious. i lessoned the chocolate chips by 1/4 cup as theres plenty of butter and sugar already added. i also melted Andies mints in the microwave and poured the chocolate mixture into the dough. This way, no need to wait for the chocolate 'frosting' to solidify. absolutely wonderful!

These were wonderful cookies. It's difficult not to eat them all. I kept the batter in the freezer to help reduce the messiness.

I made these for my co-workers and they were a huge hit! I used Andes Mints and I made the cookies somewhat small, so half a mint per cookie was perfect.
