Cheesecake Cookies dipped in Mint Chocolate

Cheesecake Cookies for National Cookie Day

Cheesecake cookies are a family favorite cookie. When I found some Andes creme de menthe chocolate mint baking pieces I knew that I needed to add them to our baking. We often make mint brownies with the Andes candy pieces. That recipe is really easy too! All you have to do is make your favorite brownies. When they come out of the oven, you add one bag of Andes mint baking pieces on top and a few hours later you have a lovely minty topped brownie! No one will know how easy these are to make.

These cheesecake cookies originated one day when I could not find my springform pan to make a cheesecake. My daughter said, “Why not just make the cheesecake batter into cookies?” We experimented with the batter and added flour to make it thicker. These cheesecake cookies are delicious plain, or dipped in the melted Andes pieces.

This recipe takes very little time to make. Make sure your butter and cream cheese are both at room temperature when you start the recipe. This will allow them both to whip up smoothly. I made this recipe as a part of the Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange. I sent these Cheesecake Cookies to 3 other food bloggers and three other bloggers sent cookies to me.
