ANDES PEPPERMINT CRUNCH CHUNKIES



Andes Peppermint Crunch Chunkies image

I got this recipe from a bag of Andes new peppermint crunch baking chips. The flavor is fabulous, but for some reason, when I baked them, they wouldn't bake through and I had to scrape them off the cookie sheets. They ended up being tasty, slightly chewy blobs... Perhaps someone will be brave enough to try this or to help me figure out how to fix the recipe?

Yield 60 small cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups Andes mint baking chips
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  • Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
  • On low speed, add baking soda and salt, and then flour. Mix completely.
  • Stir in oats, coconut, pecans, and Andes baking chips.
  • Measure out 2 tablespoons for large or 1 tablespoons for small cookies. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet two inches apart. Press lightly with a fork so they are about 1/4 thick (like peanut butter cookies).

  • Bake for 20 minutes for large cookies or 12-15 minutes for small. Do not overbake.

Time 45m

Yield 16 to 20 candies

Number Of Ingredients 2

10 large candy canes, depending on size
1 pound dark chocolate, tempered

Steps:

  • You can use more or fewer candy canes, depending on your taste. I like to use a ratio of 25 percent candy cane and 75 percent chocolate. Use a rolling pin to crush the candy canes into small pieces and crumbs. Mix the candy into a bowl of tempered dark chocolate and stir with a spoon. Drop dollops of the chocolate candy onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. When the chocolate sets, the candies are ready to eat.
