Ingredients

  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups flour all purpose or gluten free flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • drop mint extract optional
  • green food coloring optional
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped Andes mints

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, sugar and brown sugar. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
  3. Then, add in egg and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  4. Add in flour and baking soda. Stir to combine.
  5. If using, then mix in mint extract and green food coloring. Stir to combine.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints.
  7. Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.
  9. Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes on pan. Then carefully transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Use cold butter right from the fridge.  This prevents the cookies from spreading too thin.
  • Beat butter and sugars until no clumps of butter remain.  This takes my stand mixer at least 2 minutes.
  • The cookie dough will be thick.
  • If desired, add in a drop of mint extract or peppermint extract.  A drop goes a long way!
  • Green food coloring is totally optional.
  • Use ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough.  This ensures round equal sized cookies.
  • Do not over bake.  They will slightly firm up as they cool down.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month.
