Description
Make rich, fudgy chocolate cookies studded with chopped Andes Mints for a perfect holiday treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups 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 semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped Andes Mints (about 30 pieces)
- 1/2 cup Andes Mints, coarsely chopped (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and the 1 cup of chopped Andes Mints by hand.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press a few extra pieces of chopped Andes Mints onto the top of each warm cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra fudgy cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
- If you want a stronger mint flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the wet ingredients.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
