Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 30 pieces Andes mints (unwrapped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or medium cookie scoop, portion out the dough into balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place one unwrapped Andes mint on top of each cookie. Let the mints sit for about 2 minutes to soften, then use a spoon or offset spatula to spread the melted mint over the tops of the cookies.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
