Tree's Chocolate Mint Cookies

Our friend Teresa in Toronto is a fabulous cook. She passed on her recipe for these chewy, over-the-top chocolatey cookies. When I made them, they were a real hit with Darren and the rest of the swing gang Sunday night at the Hot Jazz Club at 6th and Main. Although I'm not a big chocolate fan, I actually really like this cookie. And besides, it uses up some of that 10 pound chocolate bar my brother Andy bought me!
