Because you start with a store-bought cookie mix, it takes no time at all to make these minty treats. I usually drizzle melted chocolate chips over the cookie tops, but pink candy coating looks lovely for Valentine's Day.—Christina Hitchcock, Blakely, Pennsylvania
Ingredients:
1 package (17-1/2 ounces) sugar cookie mix
40 to 45 mint andes candies
3 ounces each red and green candy coating disks
decorating sprinkles, optional
Directions:
1. Prepare cookie dough according to package directions. Cover and chill for 15-20 minutes or until easy to handle.
2. Pat a scant tablespoonful of dough in a thin layer around each mint candy. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In microwave-safe bowls, melt each color of candy coating; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Top with decorating sprinkles if desired. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
