Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soft, chewy mint chocolate chip cookies filled with mint chips, chocolate chips, and Andes mints for a classic, refreshing twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie.

  • Total Time: 24 minutes
  • Yield: 20 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces mint chips (reserve 1/4 cup for topping)
  • 4 ounces Andes Creme de Menthe Thins (about 3/4 cup, reserve 1/2 cup for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 385°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix for 1 minute longer.
  4. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, mint chips (reserve some for topping), and 1/4 cup of Andes mint thins. Stir together.
  6. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing at least two inches apart. Lightly roll into balls for a smooth look.
  7. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with reserved mint chips and Andes thins.
  8. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewiness, slightly underbake the cookies. Reserve some mint chips and Andes thins for topping after baking for a fresh minty flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
