Fudgy Andes Mint Cookies

 

I am a sucker for a great cookie, and when I find a tasty one – I can’t stop at just one! This Fudgy Andes Mint Cookies recipe is one where I have a difficult time stopping at just one. Whip up a batch and share with some friends, or take them to a function. They’re sure to be a hit because they are moist, chewy and with the perfect combination of chocolate and mint. Everything is better with chocolate right? This recipe is adapted from the Fudgy Brownie Cookies at Tasty Kitchen.
