Chocolate Mint Cookies are a soft tender cookie with just the right amount of mint added. These mint cookies also have some Andes mints and milk chocolate chips to make them the best mint cookie I have eaten.
It is hard to believe the holidays are just around the corner. One of my favorite combinations for Christmas is chocolate and mint. We usually have some Andes mints hidden away to serve for Christmas day.
I also have to make sure that there are enough for these chocolate mint cookies too. It just would not be Christmas if there was no chocolate and mint to go around.
Ingredients:
- Butter
- Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Mint extract
- Flour
- Cocoa
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Andes mints
- Milk chocolate chips
Helpful tips:
- Use butter and eggs that are at room temperature. The room temperature butter and eggs will mix better into the batter. Take the butter and eggs out of the refrigerator one to two hours before you will bake with them.
- No need to sift the flour and cocoa together, this will save you time.
- When chopping the Andies mints don’t make them too small, too small of pieces may melt into the cookie.
- Use quality chocolate chips for a better chocolate flavor.
- Don’t over bake the cookies, once they are set over top remove from the oven. Let them set on the baking pan for a minute or two to allow the cookies to finish baking.
- These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.

They are the perfect holiday cookies!
My kids would go crazy for these! The mint makes them perfect for the holidays!! xo
You had me at mint! Love these cookies and my older son would devour them quickly with me!
That’s so funny that you mention Andes mints. I love those! However, I only tend to buy them during the holidays for some reason. That means these cookies are perfect for me since I have some Andes in the pantry right now! They sound delicious! 🙂
