Super-soft cookies with Andes Mint Chocolate. Very easy to make, no dough chilling! One of my favorite cookie recipes ever.
Nothing steals my heart away quite like the combination of peanut butter & chocolate. It’s no secret that chocolate & peanut butter are a match made in heaven. I mean, have you tried my chocolate peanut butter cake? Case in point.
But there’s one humble little guy that pairs quite as well and maybe even better (!!!) with chocolate.
Mint is the new peanut butter in my kitchen.
You’ve got your basic cookie ingredients here: flour, baking soda, baking powder, butter, eggs, vanilla, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Thrown into the mix are a couple teaspoons of cocoa powder and some chopped up Andes Mints AND Andes Mints Creme de Menth Baking Chips.
If you have left over Andes mints, try making these Andes mint chocolate cookies or Andes mint fudge next!

Description
Super-soft cookies with Andes Mint Chocolate. Very easy to make, no dough chilling! One of my favorite cookie recipes ever.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups and 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups (340g) chopped Andes Mints OR Andes Mints Creme de Menthe Baking Chips
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (if needed, see note)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ยฐF (177ยฐC). With an electric or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, then the egg yolk, mixing for about 1 minute after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, flour, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix for about 1 minute on low speed. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. By hand, fold in the Andes Mints.
- Drop by rounded tablespoon-fuls* onto ungreased baking sheet or silicone mat. Bake for 10-12 minutes until sides *slightly* begin to brown. I took mine out of the oven at exactly 10 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Cookies stay fresh & soft in a sealed container at room temperature for 1 week. Cookies freeze well, up to 2 months.
- Special Tools (affiliate links): Electric Mixer (Handheld or Stand) | Baking Sheet | Silicone Baking Mat or Parchment Paper |ย Cooling Rackย
- Milk: The dough is very, very thick and should come together easily. However, if it is TOO thick to handle, add up to 1/4 cup milk before adding the Andes Mint Chips.
- Larger Cookies: If making larger cookies, I suggest dropping dough by 1/4 cup measurements and shaping into a ball. Bake for 11-12 minutes.

This is the best cookie recipe I have ever tasted!! Delicious cookies!!
I have been baking a lot more the past 5 years. I do a quick google search and the best reviews are 98% Sallys Baking. Everyone who tries something I make from one of her recipes is a hitter! I just made this recipe and wow! This is not going to last long they are so frickin bomb! I suggest making two batched, only because you’re going to finish off one batch while baking the other.
Theyre chewy on the inside, mildy crunchy on the outside (after they sat for a few hours), perfectly minty. I used half an andes on each cookie, not including the 2 cups of chopped andes I added to the dough. I used a small ice cream scoop, about 1.5 tbsp per cookie. 12 on a pan, 10 min was perfect!
This was sosososo very good!! It felt like (chocomint) heaven in a bite!!
Hey sally! I used so many mints, is that ok?
