5. Place the sheet into the preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 6-8 mins. until getting a flat round shape with cracks and becoming slightly crisp.
6. Take out the tray from the oven, and immediately place unwrapped Andes chocolate mints on top of each cookie and leave the tray as it is for 5 mins.
7. The chocolate will melt onto the top of the cookies and make it smooth using a flat knife to give a texture like frosting.
