Too sweet! Too much! There should have been at least half of the Andies candies added to the sugar cookies.

I've made these cookies and they're very good. I also crushed the candy for the top. I want to make them for my niece's wedding (her colors are green and brown) and would like to freeze them. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether they would freeze ok?

I added the candies to my mini food chopper and pulsed to get them chopped. It worked perfect and gave me one more thing for my littler helper to do.

These cookies were really delicious, but a little more work than I think is necessary. The frosting made them almost to sweet and it took me forever to cut the chocolate pieces and get them even. My new solution for a yummy mint-cookie fix is sugar cookie dough just mixing in a bag of mint-chocolate chips.
