Comments on: Cookie monster http://www.misuse.org/science/2007/02/21/cookie-monster/ It would be a good idea.

The test batch with Peppermint patties WAS greasy, and they also made the cookies thin and crispy, but they taste really good. My daughter loves mint-chocolate ice cream and was trying to get that flavor, I bet someone sells mint chocolate chips. Has anyone seen them? I put crushed candy canes in a chocolate cake battrer with a tsp of peppermint extract once and that was delicious. I frosted it with That cream frosting made with milk and flour (cooked until thick, then cooled) mixed with butter and sugar. I topped it with more crushed candy canes. That was pretty and well received at Christmas time. . Back to the cookies...Thanks Thanks.

If you want to go down the mint road, maybe try those "After 8" dinner mint/chocolates. Or better yet, find some gourmet mint chocolate truffles and chop them up and use instead of chocolate chips. I'm allergic to all tree nuts so you're not going to get anything from me on that one. I'd encourage you to try the recipe above instead of the BH&G one. I'm biased, but I believe this recipe is superior! Happy baking! - Science Kathy: I’d be skeptical of peppermint patties - they seem way too “greasy” to be good in a cookie.

I have a great basic recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, my kitchen Bible. We did them using semi-sweet bits and white chocolate. We are using pecans as the nut to vary the walnut-- didn't think of macadamia and and already bought the pecans. Has anyone had any success adding cocoanut? Chopped peppermiont patties? or both?
