Andes Mint Cake Mix Cookies (156 of 150)

I love Andes Mints. They're my favorite after dinner treat when you go out to restaurants. That said, mint can get overwhelming so the thought of making these cookies had me worried. 

First, you can find Andes mint pieces in the baking aisle now. This saved me from having to chop up the mints. I did cut mints in half for the top of the cookies. 

I didn't follow how they did the cookies with the mints underneath. I mixed the mint pieces into the dough and then plopped 1/2 of a mint on top after they came out of the oven.

Tonight is the Cookie Exchange Sunday dinner and I thought these would be perfect for that event.
