ANDES MINT COOKIES
3/4 c. butter (or margarine)
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 T. water
Melt in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and then add:
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted.
Cool for 10 minutes. Pour into a mixing bowl and beat in 2 eggs.
Add:
2 1/2 c. four
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix together and chill for about 45 minutes. Roll into balls (like 1 – 1 1/2 inches big), flatten slightly, and place on cookie sheet (In only use Pampered Chef baking stones). Bake at 350 for 10 minutes (for my oven, this is the perfect time, keeping my cookies soft; your oven may be slightly different).
When cookies come out of the oven, place an Andes mint on top of each cookie and allow to melt for a few minutes. Swirl the melted chocolate like icing. Allow to cool.
Thanks! I have to make treats for our Boy Scout Court of Honor tonight. Think I’ll make these.
Boy I wish that I could eat mint, I wonder what other type of chocolate you could use instead of the Andes Mint??
Vanessa, you could try the Andes toffees in place of the mints…probably would work the same and be a nice substitute. I’m thinking I may try that. Mmmm…
YUMMY!! I buy the andes mint pieces and dump them on top of brownies when they come out of the oven. I am going to have to try these cookies.
I bet a Rolo would be really good on top too!
Hi Michelle – I made these cookies tonight using Rolo (I couldn’t find those Andes mints easily in Canada). They were delicious! And my friends said they preferred the idea of the rolos over the mints!
Thanks for letting us know how these turned out! I want to try them for a few friends, but I know one doesn’t like mint. I’ll have to try rolos! thank you again!
I am in Canada and found them at sobey’s this morning. So we do have them.
I just made these for a Christmas Cookie exchange!! I’m not a baker at all but they turned out amazing! Very easy and so yummy.
