Time 3h20m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
2 to 3 drops green food color

Steps:

  • In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until dough forms. Divide dough in half. Stir cocoa into one half. Stir flour, mint extract and food color into other half. Place chocolate dough on 17x12-inch sheet waxed paper. Top dough with second sheet of waxed paper. Roll dough to form 12x7-inch rectangle. Repeat with green colored dough.
  • Remove top sheet of waxed paper from both doughs. Using waxed paper to lift green dough, invert onto chocolate dough. Gently press layered dough to 14x8-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet waxed paper. Use bottom sheet waxed paper to help roll doughs up together tightly, beginning at long side. Wrap tightly in waxed paper; freeze at least 2 hours or until very firm.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Unwrap dough; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place slices about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

These pinwheels were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I used crushed Oreos instead of Andes mints and they were still really good. I think next time I'll try using a different type of mint, like peppermint extract.

My pinwheels didn't turn out as pretty as the ones in the picture, but they still tasted delicious.

I had some trouble getting the dough to roll out. I ended up having to add a little more flour.

These pinwheels were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using half the amount of sugar next time.

I love the idea of using Andes mints in these cookies. It's such a creative way to add mint flavor. The cookies were delicious and I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, but I decided to give these pinwheels a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The mint flavor was subtle and refreshing, and it paired perfectly with the chocolate. These cookies are now one of my favorites.

These chocolate mint pinwheels were delightful! The combination of chocolate and mint was perfect, and the cookies were so soft and chewy. I'll definitely be making these again.
