Deborah Bar Poole says
Can you bake these in a 9×13 pan for cookie bars instead of individual cookies?
If so, how long would you bake for?
Heidi says
I honestly haven’t tried that, Deborah… but if you do, let me know how it turns out!
Jessie Schnack says
Did you do bars? I’m wondering too! Thank you!
Jessie Schnack says
Did you end up doing bars? Please share tips if so. Thank you!
Jj says
Can we make the dough the night before and refrigerate or is it only a 2 hour fridge recommended
Heidi says
Hi Jj ~ yes, you can make it the night before, but you will want to let it warm up just a bit prior to forming the dough balls. Hope that helps! 🙂
Jj says
Do these taste cakey or like a cookie
Heidi says
They taste just like a traditional cookie… the cake mix box just serves as a shortcut. 🙂
Christie says
Ohhh my goodness these Andes Mint Dark Chocolate Cookies sound sooo good and decadent! I love how easily your cookie recipes come together! Definitely worth coming back to again!
Heidi says
Thanks, Christie! They really are heavenly, and the perfect treat for any Andes Mint lover! 🙂
Nikki says
I have four boxes of regular Andes mints. Can I use those or do I have to use the baking chips?
Heidi says
Hi Nikki ~ you can definitely substitute chopped Andes Mints. You’ll just want to have 1.5 cups of chopped Andes mints for this recipe. Hope that helps! 🙂
Anna says
I was skeptical… nothing that good could come from a BOX. Let alone a cake mix box. But dang, they are yummy! And so easy!
I couldn’t find Andes Mints in the store so I used the mint morsels from the baking aisle and they are ooey, gooey good! I got about 3 dozen from a box making about 1-1.5 inch balls.
Heidi says
Aww ~ so glad you liked them, Anna! 😉
Gretchen says
I doubled the recipe and used a nice cream scopper to place 6 balls/baking sheet. With this size cookie I got roughly 3 dozen. I baked for 10 min. And they came out delish!
Heidi says
I’m so glad you liked them, Gretchen! I love the ice cream scooper trick, too! 😉
Priscilla P. says
I’m loving ALL of the recipes. I’m a new Family and Consumer Science teacher. We’ve been studying quick breads and this week we are making three if these recipes. At the end of the day I’ll have about 50 doz cookies!!
Heidi says
Aww ~ how fun, Priscilla… I’m so glad you and your students are enjoying all of the recipes!
Ashlee says
I noticed that it’s taking a lot longer then 8-9 minutes to cook. After 10 minutes and 5 minutes cooling on the pan they were flat and still gooey so I put them back in for another 5 minutes and noticed they had risen up nicely. Haven’t tried them yet but they look delicious! I did half with Andes and have with Reese’s minis.
Ashley says
This sounds great! I want to try them for the cookie exchange I am going to. How many cookies will this recipe make?
Heidi says
Hi Ashley ~ this recipe makes approximately 2 dozen cookies, give or take. Hope that helps! 😉
P says
I want to make these cookies ahead of time for Christmas. Do they freeze well? Tanks.
Heidi says
I honestly haven’t tried freezing them for later… if you do, let me know how they turn out!
Brigette says
I made these for my brother in laws bday party and they were devoured. Everyone loved them and asked if they could take some home. This recipe is a keeper
Heidi says
Yay ~ I’m so glad everyone liked them, Brigette! Aren’t they so easy to make… and SO yummy! 😉
