I think these tasted alright and was easy, good for a Christmas program cookie at my son's school. Next time I would add more food coloring. The unbaked dough looked OK, but after they baked they were kind of a pale and sickly looking green.

I've made these several times to take to different gatherings with friends. They always go over well. :)

These cookies are pretty tasty as is. But, in subsequent batches, I've added a tad more of the food coloring and the mint extract. Also, I always line my cookie sheets with foil when I make these, because the edges brown way too much when I don't.

wonderful! Wouldn't change a thing! However, they do not stay moist more than a couple of days; eat up fast!

These were super easy to make and are a delicious mint cookie. My kids enjoyed helping me make these as well as eating them. These are a great holiday cookie.

Absolutely delicious - i have a similar high maintenance recipe where you make everything from scratch that I received from my MIL. I always get requests for the recipe, has always been my husbands favorite, etc. I made this recipe replacing the mint extract with vanilla (1tsp) and added my "normal" christmas time chocolate mint chips (1 full bag) and rolled in granulated sugar before bakin as my other recipe calls for - and my husband couldn't tell the difference!! I let him eat 10 before i finally told him :) I always wait until Christmas time and buy about 10 bags of the mint chips they sell - not the ones that are fake colored green by the german brand- you want the ones sold by Nestle that are either a bag of half choc and half mint or the ones that all look chocolate but have the mint taste - seems like they are experimenting with which ones to sell - but stock up at Christmas. These are GREAT and I love the shortcut!!!

These cookies were AMAZING!! Mint chocolate chip is my absolute favorite ice cream flavor so to put it in a cookie just blew me away! After tasting these cookies while still warm I was worried about the mint extract, thinking it was too minty but after they completely cooled the flavor was fine, not too minty or anything. Everyone in my house has fallen in love with these. I will absolutely make these again, probably around thanksgiving and christmas.

Easy and simple recipe! I found the ingredients, directions and baking time spot on! I even had the exact servings of 3 dozen cookies (36 cookies). I used semi-sweet chocolate morsels instead of chocolate chunks because it’s all that I had on hand. I found Andes’ crème de menthe 10 ounce baking chips at Longs Drug Store on sale for $3.89. The batter was easy to mix up and scoop onto an ungreased baking sheet at 2 inches apart. The cookies were done in 8 minutes. They were perfectly rounded and a nice light green color with slightly brown edges. The essence of mint filled up my kitchen. They are tasty, minty, chocolate-y and sweet cookies. As other reviewers stated they remind me of mint chocolate chip ice cream and also hubs said they reminded him of the Andes mints, an after dinner mint wrapped in green foil, which can be found at restaurants! I was pleasantly surprised at how well these cookies turned out for a store bought cookie mix. If you like mint you would definitely like these cookies. I think these would be a nice festive Holiday treat for Christmas or St. Patrick’s Day.

Followed recipe as best as I could due to what my grocery store had to offer. They didn't have the creme de le menthe baking chips so I used the andres mints and I used 10 drops instead of six. These are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
