Instructions
For Baking The Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a mini muffin pan with a generous amount of cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, fully mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl cream together 1/2 cup butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient mixture a little at a time. Mix until the dry ingredients are just combined.
- Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop or spoon into the mini muffin pan.
- Bake the cookies in the pan for 12 -13 minutes
- Remove the cookies from the oven. Use the back teaspoon to press in the center of each cookie cup to create a cup while still warm.
- Allow cookie cups to cool for at least 2-3 minutes in the pan as they will continue to cook and become more firm. Then carefully remove the cookie cups from the pan to a wire rack or clean kitchen towel to finish cooling completely. If any cookies stick a small spoon or thin knife like a frosting spatual can help to remove them.
For Making The Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer and beat 1/2 cup of butter until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, heavy cream and mint extract to the butter and mix until fluffy. If desired add green food coloring a little at a time to the frosting until it reaches your desired color.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag or strong zip-top bag. Snip the corner and pipe the frosting into the cookie cups once they have completly cooled.
- Slice the Andes Mints in half with a knife. Decorate the top of each cookie cup with half of a mint. Then enjoy!
Notes
- It's easiest to use a 24 mini muffin pan to make this recipe. If your mini muffin pan holds 12 you may need to bake in rounds.
- This recipe can be made in a regular-sized muffin tin but will only make 12 cookies. Cooking time will be extended, expect 14-17 minutes.
- Spray the muffin tin wells with a spray oil well. You can also use a silicone brush and a few tablespoons of oil to brush the pan. Make sure to get all sides of the inside of the muffin well so the cookies easily slide out.
- If the cookies are really warm it can be difficult to remove them from the pan while keeping their shape. Give them a few extra minutes to cool and firm up in the pan before removing them.
- While unsalted butter is preferred, using salted butter is possible in this recipe. The salt level may vary depending on the amount in your particular butter. If using salted butter remove the salt from the ingredients list in the cookies or the cookies may be too salty.
