2 pkg pilsbury sugar cookie dough
2 pkg andies chocolate mints

Steps:

  • 1. pre heat oven to recommended temperature on cookie dough package.

  • 3. Garnish: melt remaining mints in ten second intervals in microwave until smooth, drizzle onto cooled cookies

Tips:

  • Use fresh mint. Fresh mint leaves provide the best flavor for these cookies. If you can't find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Mint cookies are best when they are slightly underbaked. They should be firm around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and firm up.
