These Andes Thin Mint Cookies are perfect for Christmas, St Patrick’s Day – or any time you have a mint chocolate craving.

They are that perfect combination of soft and chewy inside with a crunchy outside, and the mint chocolate flavor is unbeatable. Not only do you get that melted mint chocolate “frosting,” you also get little pops of mint chocolate in the cookies themselves thanks to the mint baking bits.

You can also stuff these thin mint cookies with thin mints or peppermint patties, like we did with our Thin Mint-Stuffed Cake Mix Cookies.

Can these chocolate cake mix cookies be frozen? Yes! Allow them to cool completely, then use small parchment squares to prevent them from sticking together when you store them in ziptop freezer bags or your favorite freezer containers. (This set of freezer containers is a crazy bargain.)
