A Shortcut Dessert

Ingredients and Variations

COOKIE DOUGH Any brand of premade cookie dough will work but if you’d prefer, you can use homemade chocolate chip cookie dough too.

ANDES MINTS We love the original Andes mints, they’re the perfect size and taste great.

VARIATIONS Try ready-made sugar cookie or peanut butter cookie dough? Or mix in some shredded coconut or colorful sprinkles for a more festive cookie. For a little crunch, mix in some chopped nuts.
