Would make this again.
I have made these before, but I lost the recipie. These are scrumptious. However, instead of the nut on top, I melt some of the Andes mints and drizzle on top. I also want to try the Cherry mints; thanks for the suggestion. five stars

These cookies are even better than I thought they would be ....my husband says "they ROCK". A definate addition to my yearly Christmas plates. I decorated the tops with cut up mints instead of the pecans. five stars

Wife of fantastic cookie baker. I'm not a chocolate lover so, instead of the chocolate chips, he uses the Andes Peppermint Chips. I love them and the aroma in the kitchen is heavenly when they are baking. But, we were told they are a seasonal item. Is there any place we can get them at other times of the year?

Thank you five stars

These cookies are fabulous. Instead of a nut on tip, drizzle some melted chocolate on top and they make a beautiful cookie for gifting. five stars
