COOKIES WITH ANDES MINTS INSIDE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in baking chips., Drop dough by rounded tablespoons 3 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate medium size bowl with a hand held mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar on medium speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat again on medium speed until everything is combined and there are no lumps.
• With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 additions, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Fold in chopped Andes Mints with a spatula.
• Using a cookie scoop (I use this #50 cookie scoop for all of my standard size cookies), drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until sides just begin to brown (mine always take exactly 11 minutes). Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. Cookies freeze well, up to 2 months. Rolled cookie dough can be frozen, up to 2 months. Bake frozen on baking sheet for 11-13 minutes.
