Andes Mint Chip Cookies

Happy St Patrick's Day!  Hope you remembered to wear green and do some fun green/rainbow/lucky things with your family today.

Do you like mint + chocolate?

If you love Andes mints?

I have the perfect cookie for you!

Let's start with going back in the archives to 2014 and rediscovering these Amazing Brownie Cookies.  They're so good and I knew they'd be a great cookie base for a fun St Patrick's Day treat.  The mint taste is subtle.  You definitely get the chocolate brownie cookie taste most with a hint of mint.  My favorite way to do mint.

Andes Mint Chip Cookies:

Ingredients:

1/2 c room temp butter

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c brown sugar

1 egg at room temp

2 t vanilla

1 heaping c flour

1/2 heaping c cocoa powder

1 t baking soda

1/4 t salt

1/2 c semi sweet chocolate chips

1/2 c Andes Mint Chips + a handful to add to the top of each cookie dough ball

 

Recipe makes 18-20 cookies.

Bake at 350 for 11 minutes.

 

Cream together butter and sugars, Add egg, vanilla and all of the dry ingredients.  The batter will seem thick but it's supposed to be that way.  Stir the chocolate chips and most of the Andes Mint Chips into the batter with a spatula.  Remember to save some of the Andes Mint Chips to add onto the top of the cookie dough balls. 

 

Use your cookie scoop to scoop out the dough.  Put on a greased cookie sheet and bake.  The edges will seem done and the middle a little gooey.  Be sure to let the cookies cool for several minutes on the warm cookie sheet before removing them.

 

 

Enjoy a yummy treat or two today!  I'm LUCKY to love this crew :)

We are celebrating with a St Patty's Day charcuterie board tonight.
