Description
These Andes Mint Chip Soft Fudgy Chocolate Cookies are ultra-rich, soft, and chewy with a deep chocolate flavor and bursts of refreshing mint from Andes mint chips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups Andes mint chips (or chopped Andes mints)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the Andes mint chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake; cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days for maximum freshness.
