Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (423g)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (10-ounce) bag Andes Peppermint Crunch Pieces
- 1 1/2 cups roughly crushed Oreo cookies (about 12-14 Oreos)
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixer on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until creamy and light.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Beat again until combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Stir in Andes peppermint baking bits, chopped Oreos, and chocolate chips.
- Use a large 1/4 cup cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart so they have room to spread.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until set and just golden brown around the edges but still soft and slightly underbaked in the middle. Cool for at least 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- If you can't find them, you can use unwrapped, chopped Andes peppermint crunch thins (about 1 3/4 cups), roughly crushed Bob's Sweet Stripes peppermint sticks, or regular Andes mint baking chips.
- Storage: These peppermint Oreo cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container on the counter for 3-4 days.
- Freezing: Like most cookies, these freeze well in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
- Freezing cookie dough: You can scoop balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them for 1-2 hours. Then toss them in a resealable freezer-safe bag for longer storage, up to 2 months. To bake from frozen, take as many balls of frozen dough as you want and bake without thawing by adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time.
- Peppermint crunch baking bits: If you can't find them, you can use unwrapped, chopped Andes peppermint crunch thins (about 1 3/4 cups), roughly crushed Bob's Sweet Stripes peppermint sticks, or regular Andes mint baking chips.
