Chocolate Mint Cookies

Source: me!
Yield: 5 dozen


I love this variation of the Andes Creme de Menthe cookies that comes on the back of the bag.  The chocolatey cookie take them over the top!

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 (10 ounce) package Andes Creme de Menthe bits
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 + 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar at high speed until mixed.  Add vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth.  Add baking soda and baking powder. 

2.  Add Andes mint bits and mix until incorporated. 

3. Turn down mixer speed and add cocoa powder.  Gradually mix in flour until dough is fully combined.

4.  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°

5. Let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks.
