Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies- Soft and chewy cookies loaded with bits of chocolate mint, then drizzled with more mint chocolate. Over the top delicious!

There are a few flavor combinations that I just can’t get enough of. Chocolate mint is one of them. A few years ago, a friend handed me what I thought was a plain chocolate chip cookie. Then I bit into it and was pleasantly surprised by the cool mint sensation that filled my mouth and made my taste buds sing. I was in cookie heaven. I made sure I got that recipe!

I’ve been making these Andes Mint Cookies for years now, and they are always a big hit. They are soft and chewy with nice crisp edges, and the mint flavor is heavenly. But this time around I decided to jazz them up a little. I added some mini chocolate chips to the batter, and drizzled melted mint chocolate over the tops.

Oh my goodness people, you have got to make these! They are some of the best cookies I have ever tasted! If you’re a chocolate mint fan like I am, you are going to go crazy for them!
