Andes Mint Cookies
These Andes Mint Cookies are rich chocolate-based cookies incorporating brown sugar, corn syrup, and semi-sweet chocolate chips in the dough, topped with Andes mints that melt upon baking. The combination yields soft, slightly chewy cookies with a minty chocolate topping that hardens as it cools.
Ingredients
- 3/4 c. butter
- 1 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. white corn syrup
- 12 ounces chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 2 1/2 c. flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 egg
- 2-3 packages Andes mints candy
Instructions
- Heat butter, sugar, corn syrup, and chocolate chips in a small saucepan until chocolate chips are melted.
- Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl and add flour, baking soda, and salt. Then beat in eggs one at a time.
- Shape rounded tablespoons into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Lightly press each ball to flatten.
- Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes. Right when removing from the oven, while still hot, place one to two Ande's Mint on top of each cookie (I like to do two).
- When they melt smooth the chocolate evenly over the top. Cool completely at room temperature and let chocolate harden before serving.
