Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Andes Mints, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Andes Mints, whole or halved, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the 1 cup of chopped Andes Mints.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra Andes Mint pieces onto the top of each dough ball.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewy Andes Mint Cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
  • If you want a richer chocolate flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour with cake flour.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
