Equipment

  • Double boiler

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips (227g or about 1 cup)
  • 4 oz Unsalted butter, roughly sliced
  • 1 cup All purpose flour (124g)
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder (24g)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt (8g)
  • 1 tsp Baking powder (7g)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (4g)
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar (211g)
  • 1/3 cup Light brown sugar (60g)
  • 4.66 oz Chopped Andes mints (132g)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350° fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with either parchment paper or an oven safe baking mat.
  • Add a couple inches of water to the base of your double boiler and bring to a simmer. Then add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sliced butter to the top pot and allow it to melt, whisking occasionally. Once the butter and chocolate have melted and combined, remove from heat and set to the side to cool.
  • Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to a medium sized bowl. Whisk to combine and then set to the side.
  • Add eggs, vanilla extract, granulated sugar and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl and whisk until they're light and creamy. If you're using an electric mixer, this should only take a couple minutes on medium speed. If you're doing it by hand it'll take longer.
  • Add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Whisk to combine, scraping down the sides as necessary. Then add the dry mixture and mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in your chopped Andes mints.
  • Scoop 1 tbsp sized dough balls onto your prepped baking sheet. They'll spread as they bake, so you'll want to leave a couple inches between each one. Bake for 8-12 minutes (if you like your cookies on the raw-er side like I do, pull them out at 8). Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire baking rack. Repeat until all the dough is gone!
