These were the hit of my cookie exchange this year. So many people asked me for the recipe that the Wal-mart shelf was emptied of the Andes bits. There is a basic recipe on Zaar but I added the morsels to make the color more like the original cookies. Bet you can't eat just one! I made 5 dozen cookies in 45 minutes, including clean-up time.

60 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt mints and morsels in microwave or double boiler.
  2. 2
    Dip Ritz crackers in chocolate mixture ( I use my little ice tongs to make it easy).
  3. 3
    Place on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
  4. 4
    If you want to decorate cookies with sprinkles, you have to do it before the chocolate dries -- after every 3 or 4 cookies.
  5. 5
    When sheet is full, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  6. 6
    Peel cookies from wax paper (can be used again for next batch).
  7. 7
    Store in tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. They go fast. I've kept them as long as a week if they were well hidden.
  8. 8
    The computer wouldn't let me put it in the list of ingredients, but I use Andes Mint Bits found in the baking aisle.

    I wasn't able to find mint chocolate chips in my local grocer so I used 2 bags of regular chocolate chips and 2 table spoons of mint extract. Tasted REALLY good. Not sure if you can get 60 cookies out of this recipe though? I used more chocolate chips than what was called for and only got 40, although my first 50-10 cookies I was too liberal with the chocolate probably accounting for 10 on the cookies anyway. This recipe is real easy to make and tastes pretty close the original! Thanks!
