Andes Cream de Menthe Chunk Cookies
Only problem, if you can call it that, is that it needs to sit in the fridge for an hour once you mix them up. So if you are in a hurry, then you need to allow for that.
I didn't take pictures mixing the dough, since you put everything but the Andes candies and flour in a bowl and mix. Add the Andes candies and stir. Finally add in the flour. Mix well and put in the fridge for an hour.
The cookies have a nice minty flavor when you bite into them.
My little Valentine cookies!

Oh my! I love Andes and these look incredible. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI love Andes mints. They are so melt in your mouth good. I'm not very patient when it comes to baking at home so I always avoid anything that has to sit in the refrigerator for any length of time. Probably just as well because I doubt these would be on my diet :)
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Bev, Well I never, Creme de Menthe used to be a drink which was bought at Christmas time, but only one or two drinks were drunk from the bottle. So it always resided at the back of the cupboard... forgotten about. I love chocolate and I love mint, so I just know I am going to love these little cookies. Certainly a recipe I am going to try, but I will have to find an alternative to Andes Creme de Menthe chunks as I don't think they are sold here in England. I think these biscuits will be perfect for Easter time.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day today.
Best Wishes

Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering over your Andes Crème de Menthe chuck cookies. This will surely be something to make during these snow days we are having in the Northeast.
