This recipe is the exact one found on the bag of andes mint baking pieces...they are delicious! I cut back the amount of andes pieces to about 8 oz instead of 10 and they came out soft and perfect!

    VERY minty cookie! Next time I'll use half the amount of the baking chips. If you bake the cookie just until the center doesn't look wet, the cookie stays nice and soft in a ziplock. I froze some and used them for a christmas party- they thawed tasting fresh as if I'd made them that morning! Nice recipe. Thanks!

    I love these cookies, but when I made them a few months ago they were tasty, but too crunchy. This time, I only baked them for 7 and a half minutes, and they turned out perfect, chewy but not undercooked, even the next day. I think that the next time I make them, I'll try using less andes. Also, this recipe makes more than three and a half dozen. Consider yourself warned.

    Moist, chewy, and minty. The flavors blend nicely. I only used 1 cup mint chips because I like them to be cookies with candy in them; not candy with cookie in them. This is a great recipe.
