Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 28 Andes Mints chopped
  • 16 Thin Mint Cookies chopped

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to cream them until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in the pure vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Gold Medal all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped Andes Mints, and chopped Thin Mint Cookies.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. The edges should look set while the centers may appear slightly undercooked.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Add a few drops of mint extract for extra mint flavor.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to enhance texture.
  • Roll dough balls in powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
