My new favorite cookies...

These are amazing. I'm a mint-loving kind of person. Mint-chocolate chip ice cream is my favorite, mint hot chocolate, mint brownies, you get the idea...Dan on the other hand does not love mint and even he loved these cookies. These are really and truly my new favorite cookie.

I got the picture and recipe from http://www.justcookalready.com/

I haven't dipped them in hot chocolate yet, but I definitely plan to! Maybe some MINT hot chocolate!

Creme De Menthe Cream Cheese Cookies

by Sweet Treats and More

1/2 c. cream cheese, soft

1/2 c. butter, soft

1 c. sugar

1 egg

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1 c. flour
1 pkg Andes Creme De Menthe Baking Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper (I didn't have parchment paper so I just greased the pans and it worked just fine). In a large bowl beat cream cheese and butter together. Gradually beat in sugar, at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and salt. Whisk together baking powder and flour in a small bowl and, mixing by hand add to cream cheese mixture. Stir in 1/2 of the bag of Andes Creme De Menthe baking chips. Let chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes (for some reason mine took closer to 11-12 minutes, but I would check them at 10 minutes), until bottom edges barely turns brown. Don't overcook. Remove cookies and let cool.

In a small bowl, microwave the remaining Creme De Menthe chips until melted. Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies and let cool.
