- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅔ cup chocolate chopped, ANDES brand chocolates
- ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy with a hand or stand mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat just until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a dough hook, if possible, until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped mint chocolate candy, chocolate chips, and mint chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
