Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 22 Andes mint candies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Microwave the butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl for about 40 seconds. Butter should mostly melted.
- Whisk the butter until it is completely melted.
- Add the sugars; mix until well-combined.
- Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Please read the recipe note about properly measuring flour.
- Mix dough until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough (medium cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cookies are set. They will be puffy and still look a little underbaked in the middle.
- Gently press an unwrapped candy into the center of each cookie.
- Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
- Carefully spread the melted mint over the cookie.
- Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Butter - I use salted butter. If you're using unsalted butter, increase the total salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
- All-purpose flour - It's important to properly measure the flour. Too much flour will give you a crumbly dough or cookies that don't spread. To properly measure the flour, weight it or sift or stir it to break it up. Lightly spoon into a measuring cup and level.
- Baking the cookies: It's important to slightly underbake the cookies. Slightly underbaking the cookies helps to keep the soft.
