Andes candy has always been a Holiday favorite of mine. When I was a child my mom kept a bowl of them in the living room during the holiday season, and I always loved to sneak into the room and grab some of the green foil packets!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So naturally now that I am older I like to use the candy in cookies for Christmas.  I have made this before by cutting up the Andes mints, but this year I noticed you can now buy bags of the Creme De Menthe candy<\/a> for baking.  That is much easier than cutting up a bunch of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is similar to chocolate chocolate chip cookies, only with the Creme de Menthe flavor.\u00c2  You could also just use mint chips in this recipe, which I have done before too.  The dough for these cookies is stiff, so you can roll it into balls, which gives the cookies a nice round shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These freeze well, so these are a good Christmas cookie to make before the holiday and freeze.  My kids love the minty flavor, and have even been known to eat them right out of the freezer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
