ANDES MINT COOKIES

Easy Andes Mint Cookies. Thick, soft, chewy, and healthy recipe. Use Andes Mint candies or creme de menthe baking chips for the perfect cookie!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional but delicious)
1 1/4 cups chopped Andes mints or Andes Crème de Menthe Baking Chips
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or nonfat milk (at room temperature (may need to add an additional 1 or 2 teaspoons))

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Fold in the Andes mints or baking chips.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until evenly combined. Add the milk and whisk again until the milk is incorporated into the butter and it is nice and smooth.
  • Scatter the flour mixture over the top, and, by hand with a wooden spoon or sturdy rubber spatula, stir to combine. Stop as soon as the flour disappears so that you don't overwork the dough. If the dough seems very dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk until it comes together. (It will become moist faster than you think!)
  • Clear space in your freezer and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. With a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough by 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls (the dough balls will be about 1 1/2 inches across). Arrange on the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space around each cookie. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 24 hours. Alternatively, you can cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap, then refrigerate it in the bowl for 24 hours or up to 3 days. Let stand the bowl stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, until the dough is softened enough to scoop, then portion as directed.
  • When ready to bake, place racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake on the upper and lower racks for 11 to 12 minutes, until barely dry on top and just turning golden on the edges, switching the pans' positions once halfway through. The cookies will look underdone but will firm up as they cool. (You can also bake the pans one at a time in the center rack of your oven.)
  • Place the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack. Let the cookies rest on the sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack to finish cooling completely.

ANDES MINT CHUNK IRISH OATMEAL COOKIES

The original version of this recipe comes from the cookbook THE IRISH SPIRIT, by Margaret M Johnson. This is my interepetation of her recipe, with the changes and added ingredients that I made.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 c mccanns quick cooking(not instant) oatmeal
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp each baking powder, baking soda, & salt
2 stick (1 cup) unsalted kerry gold irish butter ( i use regular salted butter)
1 c light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 c irish cream liqueur
1 tsp each vanilla & peppermint extract
1 c chopped nuts ( i used walnuts)
1 c raisins
12 oz mint chocolate chips (i used andes mint chocolate candies, broken into chunks)

Steps:

  • 1. In my opinion you can not have oatmeal cookies without Raisins and nuts, so I added them to this recipe and they are the best I have had in a long time. The hardest part about this recipe is UNWRAPPING ALL OF THE CANDIES.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray, or use parchment paper, set aside till needed.This is the oat meal that was used in this recipe
  • 3. In a large bowl add flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, & salt then stir to blend. Original recipe said to pulverize mixture in a food processor, but I wanted to keep the texture, and omitted this step.
  • 4. In a separate bowl add both sugars and softened butter, and beat till creamy, then add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
  • 5. Then add cream liqueur, vanilla & peppermint extract & about 1/3 of flour & beat till blended.
  • 6. Add remaining flour mixture in 2 increments,with mixer set to low setting. until all has been added.
  • 7. Now add in raisins, nuts and chocolate chunks and stir with a large spoon to mix well.
  • 8. Refrigerate till batter is firm. I left batter in fridge till the next morning, then cut dough into large chunk size pieces.
  • 9. Place on prepared cookie sheet, and bake in preheated 350 degreeF. oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 10. Allow to cool then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • 11. Serve with cold milk or IRISH COFFEE.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mint. Fresh mint leaves provide the best flavor for these cookies. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature. These cookies are best enjoyed the day they are made, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Andes Mint Chunk Irish Oatmeal Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, minty flavor, and chocolatey chunks, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these cookies a try!
