Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Large Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 oz Andes creme de Menthe Baking Chips or 9.5 oz bag andes mint chocolates, chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar until smooth and pale colored. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until mix until incorporated.
- Stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; add to butter mixture.
- Stir in mint chocolate pieces, reserving about ¼ cup for pressing into the tops of the rolled cookie dough.
- Spoon and roll cookie dough into desired size (I like mine bigger--about 2-3 tablespoons)
- Place spread apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat liner.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or just until set. (Cookies wont be shiny on top, but may appear slightly soft and will set up after removing them from the oven to cool for a few minutes.)
