Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the pure vanilla extract.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Andes Mints until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Step 5: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  7. Step 7: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy your Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies warm, with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Notes

  • For best results, allow the butter to cool slightly before mixing with the sugars to prevent scrambling the eggs.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Andes Mints based on your personal preference for mint flavor.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can enhance the flavor and texture of the cookies.
