ANDES MINT COOKIES



Andes Mint Cookies image

These Andes Mint Cookies are loaded with chopped Andes creme de menthe pieces and dark chocolate in a buttery, almost toffee-flavored cookie that is barely crisp around the edges and soft and chewy in the middle. The secret is to underbake them ever so slightly, then press a few extra pieces of Andes mints and dark chocolate chips in the tops of each cookie AFTER baking them.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks )
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
3 cups flour (spooned and leveled)
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
10 ounces Andes creme de menthe baking chips*
1 cup dark chocolate chips (chopped, plus more for topping (Ghiradelli is my favorite))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until creamy and light.
  • Add the vanilla and eggs, then beat again, making sure to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Mix in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt just until combined. It's okay if some streaks of flour remain.
  • Stir in the Andes mint pieces and dark chocolate. If you didn't buy a extra box of Andes mints for chopping and pressing into the tops of the cookies, you might want to set aside 1/4 cup of the Andes mint pieces for pressing into the tops of the cookies after baking.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple inches apart. Bake for 10-11 minutes, just until the edges are set but the middle still looks slightly under baked and even a bit shiny in the center. The cookies will continue to set up on the baking sheet after they are taken out of the oven.
  • Gently press a few extra pieces of Andes mints and dark chocolate into the tops of each cookie. This is a vanity move, but I love cookies that look extra pretty and this is my trick to making them that way! These cookies are SO GOOD when warm and the chocolate is still all melty from the oven.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 c mccanns quick cooking(not instant) oatmeal
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp each baking powder, baking soda, & salt
2 stick (1 cup) unsalted kerry gold irish butter ( i use regular salted butter)
1 c light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 c irish cream liqueur
1 tsp each vanilla & peppermint extract
1 c chopped nuts ( i used walnuts)
1 c raisins
12 oz mint chocolate chips (i used andes mint chocolate candies, broken into chunks)

Steps:

  • 1. In my opinion you can not have oatmeal cookies without Raisins and nuts, so I added them to this recipe and they are the best I have had in a long time. The hardest part about this recipe is UNWRAPPING ALL OF THE CANDIES.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray, or use parchment paper, set aside till needed.This is the oat meal that was used in this recipe
  • 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.

Easy Andes Mint Cookies. Thick, soft, chewy, and healthy recipe. Use Andes Mint candies or creme de menthe baking chips for the perfect cookie!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional but delicious)
1 1/4 cups chopped Andes mints or Andes Crème de Menthe Baking Chips
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or nonfat milk (at room temperature (may need to add an additional 1 or 2 teaspoons))

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Fold in the Andes mints or baking chips.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until evenly combined. Add the milk and whisk again until the milk is incorporated into the butter and it is nice and smooth.
  • Scatter the flour mixture over the top, and, by hand with a wooden spoon or sturdy rubber spatula, stir to combine. Stop as soon as the flour disappears so that you don't overwork the dough. If the dough seems very dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk until it comes together. (It will become moist faster than you think!)
  • Clear space in your freezer and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. With a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough by 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls (the dough balls will be about 1 1/2 inches across). Arrange on the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space around each cookie. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 24 hours. Alternatively, you can cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap, then refrigerate it in the bowl for 24 hours or up to 3 days. Let stand the bowl stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, until the dough is softened enough to scoop, then portion as directed.
  • When ready to bake, place racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake on the upper and lower racks for 11 to 12 minutes, until barely dry on top and just turning golden on the edges, switching the pans' positions once halfway through. The cookies will look underdone but will firm up as they cool. (You can also bake the pans one at a time in the center rack of your oven.)
  • Place the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack. Let the cookies rest on the sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack to finish cooling completely.

This recipe is not only easy to follow but also customizable to suit various occasions and personal preferences. Before making these cookies, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind to ensure you get the best results.

Tip 1: Get Quality Ingredients

One of the keys to making delicious Andes mint chunk Irish oatmeal cookies is to start with quality ingredients. Ensure that you purchase high-quality butter, cocoa powder, and Andes mints among other ingredients. Always check the expiry dates and storage conditions of your ingredients to ensure that they are fresh.

Tip 2: Measure Accurately

Accurately measuring your ingredients is crucial in baking. Too much or too little of a particular ingredient can affect the texture and taste of your cookies. Invest in a good set of measuring cups and spoons, and measure your ingredients accurately. A good tip when measuring brown sugar is to pack it firmly into your measuring cup or spoon to get a consistent measurement.

Tip 3: Chill Your Dough

Chilling the cookie dough is essential when making Andes mint chunk Irish oatmeal cookies. This helps to ensure that your cookies bake evenly and maintain their shape. The butter in the dough will also solidify, which will give your cookies a richer flavor. Chill your dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight for best results.

Tip 4: Use Parchment Paper

To prevent your cookies from sticking to the baking sheet, always use parchment paper. This also makes for easy cleanup, and it helps to ensure that your cookies bake evenly. When using parchment paper, remember to grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter to prevent the cookies from sticking.

Tip 5: Add Your Andes Mints at the Right Time

Adding your Andes mints at the right time ensures that they do not melt too much and lose their shape. A good tip is to add your Andes mints just before your cookies are finished baking. Place a few Andes mints on top of each cookie, and return them to the oven for an additional minute or two. This will allow the mints to melt slightly and adhere to the cookies without losing their shape.

Tip 6: Monitor Your Baking Time

Baking times may vary depending on your oven, altitude, and other factors. Always monitor your cookies closely while they are baking to ensure that they are not over or under-baked. A good tip is to set your timer for a few minutes less than the suggested baking time, and check your cookies regularly to avoid burning them.

Tip 7: Allow Your Cookies to Cool

It can be tempting to dig into your cookies as soon as they come out of the oven, but it is important to let them cool for a few minutes before digging in. This allows them to set and prevents them from falling apart. Once your cookies have cooled, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Tip 8: Experiment with Add-Ins

The Andes mint chunk Irish oatmeal cookie recipe can be customized by experimenting with different add-ins. You can add nuts, raisins, or even other types of chocolate chips to give your cookies a unique flavor and texture. A good tip when adding nuts is to toast them in the oven for a few minutes before adding them to your dough. This will enhance their flavor and give your cookies a crunchy texture.

Conclusion

With these valuable tips, you can make the perfect batch of Andes mint chunk Irish oatmeal cookies every time. Remember to get quality ingredients, measure accurately, chill your dough, use parchment paper, monitor your baking time, allow your cookies to cool, and experiment with add-ins to create unique flavors. Enjoy!
