Take them up a notch by …
… leaving them on the baking sheet and placing 2 Andes mints on top of each cookie. Wait 30-60 seconds, then gently swirl to make a marbled pattern.
Be careful because if you try to spread it, the chocolate and mint will mix together, and you won’t get the distinct green and brown colors.
Remove to wire cooling racks, and allow topping to set.
