ANDES MINT CHIP SOFT FUDGY CHOCOLATE COOKIES



ANDES MINT CHIP SOFT FUDGY CHOCOLATE COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Christmas

Yield 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 packet instant chocolate pudding mix, about 3.7 to 3.9 ounces (not sugar-free and not 'cook & serve')
1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso granules (optional, but recommended; brings out the chocolate flavor and does not make cookies taste like coffee)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
one 10-ounce bag Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips (try Walmart, Target, Amazon, regular grocery stores; mint baking chips may be substituted)
2.5 to 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (I used Trader Joe's 72% Pound Plus Bar)

Steps:

  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) combine the butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 4 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the pudding mix, cocoa, espresso granules, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, baking soda, optional salt, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the Andes chips, chopped chocolate, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Using a large cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or your hands, form approximately 14 equal-sized mounds of dough. Roll into balls, and flatten slightly. Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked and glossy in the center. Don't overbake which is easy to do with dark cookies. Cookies firm up as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack. Cookies are best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.

Steps:

  • 3. In a large bowl add flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, & salt then stir to blend. Original recipe said to pulverize mixture in a food processor, but I wanted to keep the texture, and omitted this step.
  • 4. In a separate bowl add both sugars and softened butter, and beat till creamy, then add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
  • 5. Then add cream liqueur, vanilla & peppermint extract & about 1/3 of flour & beat till blended.
  • 6. Add remaining flour mixture in 2 increments,with mixer set to low setting. until all has been added.
  • 7. Now add in raisins, nuts and chocolate chunks and stir with a large spoon to mix well.
  • 8. Refrigerate till batter is firm. I left batter in fridge till the next morning, then cut dough into large chunk size pieces.
  • 9. Place on prepared cookie sheet, and bake in preheated 350 degreeF. oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 10. Allow to cool then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • 11. Serve with cold milk or IRISH COFFEE.

Provided by RecipeNut

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup butter (not margarine)
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
Andes mints candies, broken in half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Over low heat, combine butter, sugar and water.
  • Heat until melted and add chocolate chips until partly melted.
  • Remove from heat and stir.
  • Pour into large mixing bowl.
  • Let stand 10 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time on high speed.
  • Reduce mixer to low speed and add flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Beat until well-blended.
  • Chill one hour (dough is almost liquid before chilling but hardens and is easy to shape after chilling).
  • Roll into balls, place two inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Place an Andes Mint half on top.
  • Allow to melt slightly and spread with a spoon.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for organic and locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing or serving.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Andes Mint Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are minty, chocolatey, and oh-so-good! Be sure to give them a try the next time you are in the mood for a sweet snack.
