Make these soft and chewy Andes Mint Cookies for a rich, minty chocolate treat perfect for holiday cookie exchanges or any time you crave a festive dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional, for extra mint flavor)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped Andes Mints (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract, if using.
  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 chocolate chips and the 1 cup of chopped Andes Mints.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press a few extra chopped Andes Mints onto the top of each dough ball.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still look slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy Andes Mint Cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • If you want a crinkle cookie look, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
  • These are fantastic for Christmas cookie recipes and cookie exchange recipes.
