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.

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)

1/3 c irish cream liqueur
1 tsp each vanilla & peppermint extract
1 c chopped nuts ( i used walnuts)

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.

Andes mint cookies are a popular dessert recipe among cookie lovers. These chocolatey treats are loaded with chopped Andes mints, which provides them with a unique minty kick that is hard to resist. They are a perfect blend of sweet and refreshing, perfect for parties, get-togethers, or just as an after-dinner snack. This article provides a complete overview of Andes mint cookies recipes and the different ways to make them.

The History of Andes Mints

Andes mints are a type of chocolate candy that is known for its refreshing minty taste. The mints were first created in Chicago by Andrew Kanelos in the 1920s. In 1950 Andes Candies was bought by the Tootsie Roll company, which led to a significant increase in production and popularity.

However, making Andes mint cookies can be challenging, especially for those who are not familiar with the recipe. In this article, we will provide valuable tips to help you make the best Andes mint cookies.

Tip 1: Use High-Quality Butter

Butter is the most critical ingredient when making Andes mint cookies. It is essential to use a high-quality butter with at least 80% fat content. Avoid using margarine or spreads because they have a lower fat content and a higher water content that can affect the final product's texture and flavor. Unsalted butter is also preferable because it allows you to control the amount of salt in the recipe.

Tip 2: Chill the Dough

Chilling the dough is crucial when making Andes mint cookies. The dough should be chilled for at least one hour before baking. Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. It also allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more flavorful cookie. If you are in a hurry, you can chill the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Tip 3: Measure Accurately

Accurate measurement of ingredients is essential for consistent results when making Andes mint cookies. Use a digital kitchen scale to weigh the ingredients instead of measuring cups. This ensures that you get the right amount of each ingredient in the recipe. Remember to level off the ingredients when measuring to avoid adding more than required.

Tip 4: Use Silicone Baking Mats

Silicone baking mats are perfect for making Andes mint cookies. They help to prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet, resulting in a more even bake. In addition, the mats are easy to clean and reusable, which makes them an excellent alternative to parchment paper.

Tip 5: Press the Cookies Gently

When making Andes mint cookies, it is crucial to press the cookies gently before baking. Using your fingers or a fork, lightly flatten the cookies to about ½ inch thickness. This helps to ensure that the cookies bake evenly and also creates the signature crinkled appearance on the surface of the cookies.

Tip 6: Be Mindful of the Oven Temperature

Oven temperature is important when making Andes mint cookies. If the oven temperature is too low, the cookies will take longer to bake, resulting in an uneven bake. If the oven temperature is too high, the cookies will become too hard and dry. The ideal oven temperature for making Andes mint cookies is 350°F (175°C).

Tip 7: Store the Cookies Carefully

Andes mint cookies should be stored in an airtight container after baking. They can be stored at room temperature for up to five days, but for longer storage, they should be kept in the refrigerator or freezer. When freezing cookies, arrange them in a single layer in an airtight container and separate the layers with parchment or wax paper.

Conclusion

Making Andes mint cookies is easy as long as you follow these valuable tips. Using high-quality butter, measuring accurately, chilling the dough, using silicone baking mats, pressing the cookies gently, being mindful of the oven temperature, and storing the cookies carefully are all essential to making the best Andes mint cookies. With these tips in mind, you can make an impressive batch of cookies that everyone will love.
