Andes Mint Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until dough is just-combined. Transfer dough to a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Refrigerate until dough firms, at least 2 hours.
• Divide dough into 42 portions and wrap 1 dough portion around 1 mint. Repeat with remaining dough portions. Place dough 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Melt remaining chocolate mint candies in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes. Drizzle melted mint chocolate over cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars and vanilla until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in baking chips., Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Cream butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
• Add vanilla extract and eggs, beating well.
• Switch from an electric mixer to a sturdy spoon, and gradually mix in the flour mixture.
• Stir in mint chips. The dough will be VERY stiff.
• Drop by well-rounded teaspoons (I use a cookie scoop) onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Bake for 10 minutes, until centers are set.
• Remove immediately (be careful, so cookies do not fall apart) to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a large pan over low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into a large bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool off slightly.
• At high speed, beat in eggs, one at a time into chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, beating until blended. Chill dough about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll dough into balls (i use a mini ice cream scoop about 1" in diameter) and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes. While cookies are baking unwrap mints and divide each in half. When cookies are brought out of the oven, put 1/2 mint on top of each cookie. Let the mint sit for up to 5 minutes until melted, then spread the mint on top of the cookie. Eat and enjoy!
