Chocolate Andes Mint Cookies — Mint chocolate has always been my husband's favorite flavor and these cookies don't disappoint. If you need a great Christmas cookie, then this would be a go-to dessert in my book.
I am a huge fan of Andes mints, and my hubby is a huge fan of Mint Chocolate Chip anything, so when we came up with the recipe for these cookies, it was like a marriage made in heaven.
If you are planning on going to a cookie exchange, these cookies make a great addition to the mix.
How to Make Chocolate Andes Mint Cookies
Mix your wet and dry ingredients separately, and then mix them together. Once mixed roll them out into about 1 inch balls and then bake.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper.
Add sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla to a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer) and beat until fluffy.
In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Combine this with your butter mix. Fold in Andes mint pieces. I chopped mine up pretty small, but if you want, you can make them bigger so you can see the pieces in your cookie.
Add your dry ingredients to your wet and mix until combined.
Fold in Andes min pieces.
Roll out 1 – 1 ½ inch balls of dough and place them in your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow cooling on the pan for 5 minutes.
