Kelly's Amazing Andes Mint Thumbprint Cookies image

This was a cookie recently shared at my friend Donna's annual cookie exchange. Kelly is our friend who brought the cookie that had everyone asking "Who made this?" "Can I have the recipe?" "Are there anymore???". I looked on the Zaar and didn't see any quite like this one. Hope you enjoy this delight. I would caution that you keep these separate from your other cookies otherwise everything will taste minty.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I'm not a big fan of Andes Mints, but I really liked these cookies. The mint flavor is subtle and it pairs well with the chocolate.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out right. They were too dry.
