Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract adjust to taste
  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Andes Crème de Menthe Thins, chopped
  • 24 piece Andes Crème de Menthe Thins, unwrapped for topping and melting

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and slightly fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and egg yolk, then mix in vanilla and peppermint extract until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low just until combined; do not overmix.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints.
  • Scoop dough into about 1.5 tablespoon portions and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
  • Bake until edges are set and centers look slightly soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Immediately top each hot cookie with an unwrapped Andes mint. Let sit 1 minute to soften, then use the back of a spoon to gently spread the melted mint into a glossy layer.
  • Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to set completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking. If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, increase peppermint extract to 0.75 teaspoon. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
