Andes Mint Cookies are soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with lots of minty flavor from chopped Andes mints.

For sweetness, there’s a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. Brown sugar not only has more complex flavors than granulated sugar, it also contains more moisture. Typically brown sugar results in cookies that are chewier.

Addition of Andes Mints

You can either buy a package of Andes Mints, unwrap them, and chop them yourself, or buy a bag of Andes Mint Baking Chips. Using a box of mints is a little more time consuming because you have to unwrap each mint, but you can cut them into bigger pieces. A standard box of Andes mints yields about 1 cup of chopped mints.

Plan Ahead

The dough needs to be placed in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before baking. The dough can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight.
Why Chill Cookie Dough"

A chilled cookie dough will spread out less when it bakes. Chilling the dough also results in cookies that brown more because the dough is better hydrated.
