    Andes Mint Cookies - Soft-baked and chewy! The perfect cookies for Christmas and perfect for gifting cookies in a jar for the holidays!

    Andes Mint Cookies - Soft-baked and chewy! The perfect cookies for Christmas and perfect for gifting cookies in a jar for the holidays!

    Growing up as a little girl, I never liked anything minty including mint chocolate chip ice cream. Gasp! I couldn't stand it, and I tried to stay very far away from it. It's amazing how your taste buds for certain foods changes as your get older. So many things were great, including these Andes Mint cookies.

    You are in for a treat today if you are a mint fanatic, like my husband or how I am starting to be. These mint cookies are soft-baked, chewy, and loaded with chopped Andes mints. And I thought you wouldn't be able to guess the ingredient they are loaded with. 😉

    If you are a fan of the combination of mint and chocolate, you are going to love our mint chocolate chip cookies or our mint cheesecake brownies!

    When I was making the cookie dough the other day, I decided to use pre-chopped Andes mints, as in their baking bits. It made it so much easier and then I chopped a few whole Andes mints and added them to the tops of each cookie. It make my life so much easier and yours too!

    If you haven't ever used a cookie scoop before, you are going to be in heaven! It makes it so much easier to scoop the cookies onto the cookie sheet. The only downside to using a cookie scoop is not having cookie dough on your fingers. I love licking cookie dough off my fingers!

      These are absolutely delicious. They taste like chewy chocolate chip cookies meets Andes Mints. I live in Singapore, so used Andes Mints chips brought from the U.S. But, they were selling the wrapped Andes Mints for the holidays here and I snagged them. This recipe will be made again. Perfect for Christmas or any time of year.

      These cookies were perfect! Used the recipe as it was written, and the cookies came out just like the picture, couldn't have asked for a better holiday cookie.

      Looking forward to making these for my nephew. When do you add the Andes chunks of top? Before or after baking?

      Have you ever frozen these cookies - either the dough or once baked? Thank you.

        I haven't personally tried it, Megan. You should be able to freeze the cookie dough, roll the dough into balls, and then freeze it on a baking sheet.
