Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon mint extract
  • 20 ounces Andes Creme De Menthe Baking Chips
  • 24 Andes Mint Chocolates, unwrapped and cut into triangular shapes

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and the mint extract.
  • Measure in the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda.  Beat into the butter mixture until just combined.  Do not over-mix. 
  • Next, beat in half of the mint chips until incorporated.  Cover and refrigerate the dough for 60 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Portion out 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough and roll it into balls.  Roll the balls into the remaining mint chips and place them onto the prepared baking sheet leaving 3 inches of space between each ball.
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are just slightly browned. 
  • In the meantime, unwrap the whole Andes Mints and cut them into triangular shapes.
  • Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and gently push two or three of the triangular-shaped Andes Mint Chocolates into each cookie.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
