Calories: 176kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened (butter needs to be slightly soft at room temperature not melted)
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/4 cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 24-36 Andes Mint Chocolates
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, blend the butter with the sugars and vanilla until smooth (I used a hand held mixer or stand up mixer for this).
- Add in the eggs 1 at a time until thoroughly combined.
- Then hand mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not over mix.
- Scoop approximately 1 Tbsp of the dough onto a baking sheet and ensure that they are approximately 2 in apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges of the cookies are soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and place an unwrapped andes mint on each cookie at the center.
- Allow them to set and let the heat from the cookie melt the mint (3-5 minutes).
- Then take a knife and gently spread the cookie around the top of the cookie to make the icing.
- Transfer the cookies to a cool rack and allow them to cool completely.
- Enjoy!
