Mint Chocolate Cookies


Mint Chocolate Cookies

These cookies are perfect for those mint lovers you know!  Filled with Andes mints and dark chocolate and mint chips (special holiday chocolate chips), these have a perfect combination of smooth chocolate and zingy mint!  My husband loves them and says they taste like the amazing Girl Scouts Thin Mints!  So fun to find a special treat he loves!

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup Hersheys Dark Chocolate and Mint chocolate chips
1 cup chopped Andes Mints

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350* F.  Grease cookie sheets.  In a large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in egg, then stir in vanilla.  Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture.  Mix in the chocolate chips.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.  Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.  Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
