Make these rich, soft, and chewy double chocolate cookies packed with the cool mint flavor of Andes Mints. This recipe is perfect for your holiday baking and cookie exchanges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped Andes Mints, plus extra 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, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint 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 chocolate chips and the chopped Andes Mints.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  9. Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press a few extra pieces of chopped Andes Mints onto the tops of the warm cookies.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • If you want a stronger mint flavor, add ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract to the wet ingredients.
  • You can drizzle melted dark chocolate over the cooled cookies for added richness.
