DAY 7: Chocolate Andes Chip Cookies
Andes mints now also come in packages of Andes Baking Chips. They make a great addition to a basic chocolate cookie. Can’t find the packaged baking bits? Just chop up a package of regular Andes. I prefer the kind that have one chocolate layer sandwiched between two green mint layers.
RECIPE:
Chocolate Andes Chip Cookies
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
