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!
- In a bowl mix together the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until everything is well incorporated.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Ooh, yeah…easy, minty, fudgy…another winner, Erin!
I too, am a chocolate and mint lover (and pintrest too!) These look great! I never thought about making my own cake mix like the box stuff, but that could be a great idea for a homemade gift! I’d have to store those cookies in the freezer too so I wouldn’t eat them all right away!
I just got into Pintrest about 2 weeks ago and let me tell you its dangerous. I have to make myself avoid it because once I am in I am gone for a while. Beautiful cookies!
Yummmmmmm! These look so good! And easy! Win!
These sound good, Erin! I can’t get enough of the chocolate mint combo and these are easy enough that I could let my teen boys make them. Yay!
Hey now this is my kind of baking. 🙂 I had to laugh when you had to make your own cake mix… too cute!! 🙂
I wish I had seen this earlier, my box of mints are half eaten and for some reason finding a single box at any store was a difficult task. Maybe after the holidays there will be more available. Bravo to you for making your own cake mix for these, they do look like a delicious treat.
Delicious AND easy! YUM! Pinterest is an amazing site – it’s easy to get stuck in there, wander out 9 hours later with a list of things to make, bake and do!
Oh these look so good. I looove Andes mints! Erin you also won my giveaway! Send me your address so I can send you the Duncan Hines coupons and a starbucks giftcard!
Love Pinterest and love these mints! Such an awesome recipe 🙂
