Mint Chocolate Cookies

If you are lucky enough to live near an Olive Garden restaurant you know all about the mints...

...the ones you get at the end of your meal.

The mint green surrounded by chocolate.

Mmm Mmm!

Did you know that you can by these Andes mint baking chips?

Oh yes you can!  They make the most wonderful tasting cookies.
