Andes Mint Cookies

Andes Mint Cookies are a soft-baked chocolate cookie loaded with Andes Mint pieces and spread with an extra layer of mint goodness. They’re amazing straight from the oven.

So I meant to post these recipes before Christmas, but I decided time with my family and friends was more important than writing about cookies, so I’m sharing these treats with you now. And the timing may be perfect, because while treats abound in December, who doesn’t need some baking inspiration in January , especially soft chocolately, minty, warm-from-the-oven inspiration.

Tyler got me a new camera lens for Christmas, so even though I shot these pictures a week ago, I had to pull them out of the freezer and test out my new lens! I’m loving it!
