These were delicious. I made exactly as is and they were perfect. This will make a great addition to my Christmas cookie collection. Very refreshing!

Maybe because I'm at high altitude (Boulder CO), but these didn't work for me at all. I followed the directions precisely and the dough looked fine, but didn't set in the oven and then immediately deflated when I took them out. I left some in for the time directed and some for longer, but neither turned out well. Also, they weren't coming off of an ungreased pan well so I tried greasing a pan but the cookies still wouldn't separate from it easily. Disappointing... they sound great, but I wouldn't try these if you're at a high altitude.

Very good cookies! This recipe made 7.5 dozen so I had to use 45 chocolate mint wafer candies. Very well liked.

Great chocolatey, minty, cakey little cookie. So easy and so yummy. I only had to refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes for it to firm up, but I also used a scoop to make my dough balls.

These were wonderful. I used 1/2 c wheat flour in place of all-purpose, but I may try more next time. I freeze all my cookies, so I haven't had any trouble with them drying. I've been taking them out in the morning to pack in lunches, and they aren't dry at all then.

These cookies are very tasty! I followed the recipe to the letter, and the cookies turned out perfectly - nice and soft, with a delicious cool mint chocolate flavor. It can be a little tricky keeping the mints on top of the cookies as they melt, but you get the hang of it after a few slide off! Easy to make, tasty and good-looking... what more could you want in a cookie?

Very chocolaty. Yummy! Everybody liked them. I did not have any mint candies so I substituted them for bittersweet chocolate chips. When I took them out of the oven i gently pushed in a chip and let melt. Very good!

This is one of those stand alone cookies where the cookie itself is out of this world. The mint just gives it just the right elegant touch that you can serve it to the girls when they come over for coffee. It says 36 Andes mints, but you really only need 18 since you cut them in half!! Then after you finish this recipe, why not impress everyone by using the rest of the Andes Mints and making "Thin Mint Crackers." They're IDENTICAL to Girl Scout cookies, and gives you a reason to buy a big box of Andes! BTW, this took me 9 min exactly to cook, and I really recommend putting the baking sheet BACK in the fridge after you've placed the mint and swirled so chocolate can set and you can then store in lock~n~lock container at room temp.

These cookies are amazing just as others have noted! I did decide to make a few changes to make them more healthy. I replaced 1/3 of the butter with applesauce, replaced 1 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour, and added 1 cup of thinly grated zucchini and a dash of wheat germ. I will make them again for sure!

Let me just start out by saying that I'm not a chocolate lover...despite that, these cookies were amazing! They certainly didn't last long in my house. Great recipe! I didn't have any brown sugar, so I used regular granulated sugar...came out great.

I had trouble getting the cookies into the oven, the dough was so good. I used Andes mints and had to stir a bit more to make sure everything mixed well before I added my dry ingredients. I was making these as a surprise for my husband while he ran out on an errand so I put the dough in the freezer for 20 minutes. I mixed the dough every 5 minutes to make sure it all cooled even. The dough rolled up nicely and my husband gobbled the cookies right up!

Very good flavor. A little dry though. I took andes mints and put them in a Wilton bottle for melting chocolate candy and melted the mints in the microwave by heating it for 20 seconds then shaking then putting it in for another 20 seconds till all melted. Then I squirted the mints in criss cross design all over the cookie...they looked great :) and tasted pretty good too!

These are the best cookies I have ever tasted. Hands down the best. I made them for Christmas last year with about 10 other cookies and everyone was fighting over the last couple. These were the first ones gone off a huge cookie platter. The cookie was even better a couple of days later if they last that long because the cookie gets so moist and chewy. I'm gonna go make some more right now. Next Christmas I will for sure make a double batch.

These cookies were a hit. They taste like chewy Thin Mints. Be very careful not to over bake. They also keep well.

If I could give this 4.5 stars I would. The cookies come out incredibly well, moist and chewy, just like a brownie, but the "frosting" was the part I wasn't super thrilled with. I used two different types of mints, to see which worked best, and the Andes were better. But I still think maybe I would like some melted chocolate with peppermint extract instead of an actual mint. I also used a double boiler instead of melting the butter, sugar, water and chocolate directly into a pan. I thought it would help shield the chocolate a little better and prevent it from burning. Warning though, this batter is very very thick, and it was difficult for my hand mixer to get through it. Overall though, these are a huge hit, and I will be making them again.

These cookies are as good as reviewed! We loved them. I made some with traditional Andes Mints and some with the Andes Mint Parfaits. We thought the Mint Parfait cookies came out much prettier because they are more "minty" in color. I would make them again with the Parfaits! YUMMY!
