Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies
Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies
"Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies are chewy, chocolate and frosted with a melted Andes mint! These cookies have the perfect combination of chocolate and mint flavors – this is one of my favorite cookie recipes! Anyone else absolutely love chocolate and mint together? This chocolate cookie recipe is made with melted chocolate chips in the batter and the mint flavor comes from the Andes mint that is melted and spread on top. Add a few more basic ingredients and that’s it! These cookies are very easy to make and they taste incredible!"

Cooking Time10 min
Ingredients
- 3 cups butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 36 Andes mints, unwrapped
-
Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and then add the brown sugar, water and chocolate chips. Stir just until the chocolate chips are almost completely melted and then remove the pan from the stove. Continue to stir until the mixture is completely smooth.
-
Pour the chocolate mixture into a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
-
Add the eggs and mix for 1 minute.
-
Add the flour, baking soda and salt to the chocolate mixture and mix just until well combined.
-
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough and then roll into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or just until the centers of the cookies look done.
-
Pull the cookies out of the oven and immediately place one Andes mint on top of each cookie. Wait 1-2 minutes or until the Andes mint is completely shiny and then use a butter knife or spreader to spread the melted mint all over the top of the cookie. (The melted mint topping will set up after an hour or two, but if you want to speed up the process you can place the cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes.)
