Mint Chip Cookies!

My aunt is visiting from Taiwan and she was telling me about this mint/chocolate cake from Singapore that was the best thing she ever ate...and after hearing her say that, I thought to myself as Barney Stinson would say, "challenge accepted!" However since I'm heading to Tahoe for a weekend snowboardng trip I figured I would make cookies instead as they are easier to transport to NorCal. These are your average cholocated cookie with the addition of mint chopped mint chocolate. I had Hershey mint truffles but go ahead and use andres. These cookies taste like a softer version of thin mints.. Pop them in the freezer for a cool treat!
