Andes Mint Cookies

Andes Mint Cookies – a chewy chocolate cookie topped with an Andes Mint glaze. These are a classic holiday cookie that are so easy to make and always disappear in no time!

When it comes to holiday baking there are a few flavor combinations that I love. The mint and chocolate combo is really high up on the list for the holidays.

Peppermint Recipes just scream December, and these classic Andes Mint Cookies fit the bill perfectly!

Andes mint cookies are one of those cookies that have been around forever! There are different version with a totally from scratch dough and a cake mix dough. I personally love the cake mix recipe, because it is so easy and it makes the best cookies!

What’s In Andes Mint Cookies

• Devils Food Cake Mix
• Vegetable Oil
• Eggs
• Andes Mints

It really could not be any easier that 4 ingredient cookies!

How To Make Andes Mint Cookies

Cake mix cookies are so easy to make, you will be making these all holiday season long!

1. In a bowl mix together the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until everything is well incorporated.
2. Scoop balls of dough onto a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until the edges of the cookies are set and the tops are dry.
3. Remove from the oven and place 1-2 Andes mint candies on the top of each cookie. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it gets melty.
4. Use the back of a spoon or knife to gently spread the the mints to make a “frosting” over the cookies.

How To Store Cookies

Let the cookies cool completely so that the icing completely sets up. Then store the cookies in an air tight container for up to 5 days. You can definitely make these cookies ahead and store in the freezer. Then just take them out when you are ready to serve.

The biggest tip when making cookies is to not over bake them. As the cookies cool on the baking sheet they will continue to bake, so you want to take them out before they are completely done.
