Ingredients

Scale

  • For the Dough:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
  • For the Filling and Topping:
    • 65 unwrapped Andes mints (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • Cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
    • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  2. Chill the Dough:
    • Transfer the dough to a resealable bag, remove excess air, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to improve texture and flavor.
  3. Shape the Cookies:
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease two baking sheets.
    • Divide the dough into portions and wrap each portion around a piece of chopped Andes mint, ensuring the mint is fully enclosed.
  4. Bake:
    • Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  5. Decorate:
    • Melt any remaining Andes mints and drizzle over the cooled cookies for an extra touch of flavor.
