Make these soft and chewy double chocolate cookies packed with chopped Andes Mints and extra mint flavor. This recipe delivers rich chocolate and cool mint in every bite, perfect for holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint 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 (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 the mixture is 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 using a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 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 chewy texture.
  9. 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 and baking.
  • If you want a stronger mint punch, add 1/4 teaspoon of extra peppermint extract to the dough mixture.
  • These are excellent for a Christmas cookie exchange; they freeze well after baking.
