These cookies stopped me in my tracks as one of the BEST cookies I’ve ever made. I was saving the Andes mints for some cupcakes, but felt these cookies were getting a little too chocolatey. Not sure that’s possible, but it was feeling a tad too much.
Mint Triple Chocolate Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1- 10 ounce package Andes Mint bits
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in the egg.
In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients; flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda then gradually add to creamed mixture.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly and bake 6-8 minutes or until set.
Cool on the baking pan for about 5 minutes then onto wire racks to cool completely.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and oil in the microwave until smooth. Drizzle over the cookies and sprinkle with Andes mints in the center of each cookie and while the chocolate is still wet.
Let stand until the chocolate sets.

I’ve eliminated your need for favor tags. No need for fabric toppers, either. You just need a paper doily. Boom. Two birds. One stone.
Just write right on that bad boy.
