Andes Peppermint Cookies are for sure a Christmas cookie. I think the only time of the year that you can actually get peppermint Andes mints is around Christmas. These cookies actually turned out a lot better than I expected. The dough is a very thick dough, I actually had to add an extra egg to mine. Overall, these were great, very addicting once you eat one. They turned out very soft throughout the entire cookie. I would be very interested to see how they turn out using a brownie mix instead of cake. Hope you all enjoy!
