Chocolate Mint Cookies
Sorry for the long absence yet again. I’ve still been struggling to get in the kitchen. And when I do, it’s usually just for Chocolate Chip Cookies and I can’t necessarily blog about the same old cookie time and time again, right? This pregnancy has been challenging for sure. And it hasn’t let up yet, so keep your fingers crossed for me will you please? Hopefully the sun will shine again here soon! I promised myself not to go that long between posts again. I just have to get back in the swing of things. Otherwise I start feeling stressed and very guilty. But please, bear with me…again.
So an excellent foodie and fellow Cafe Zupas blogger, Jen from Delightful Delicacies, posted these Andes Mint cookies the other day and as soon as I laid eyes on them, I knew we were meant to be, the cookie and I that is. Just up my alley. I love chocolate and mint, as you can tell from my last posts which have been all chocolate. I need to start mixing it up a bit don’t I? Well if you haven’t checked her blog out yet, do. You will love it instantly. And if you love chocolate and mint, try these cookies. Now. So good!
Andes Mint Cookies
recipe from here
¾ c. butter (1½ stick)
1½ cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons water
12 oz. (2 cups) chocolate chips (I do 1 cup bittersweet, 1 cup semi)
2 eggs
2 ½ cups flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
In a large bowl melt together the butter, brown sugar, water and chocolate chips. *I microwave it for a minute at a time stirring after each until melted.
Beat in eggs, add in sifted remaining dry ingredients until blended. Chill 1 hour or overnight. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake @ 325°F for 8-10 minutes. Place mint on top, you may want to place back in the oven for a second or two. Spread when melted. Let cool completely; or not.
I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday!

Stephanie, wow congragulationss on being pregnant I was away for awhile myself. Is this your first one? I have one son who is 17 months old and I had a horrid pregnancy. I was sick the entire 9 months and could only eat green grapes for months, not even water. It scared me so bad that I am afraid to have anymore. I hope that you get to feeling better and that you do not go through what I did. Do not even think of this blog and cooking, think of you and baby first. My house was a mess for the first 4 months, no one was allowed to cook bc the smell. Ahh my poor husband lived in you know what, lol. Good luck sweets and take care of yourself..
Congratulations on the pregnancy. I wish you the best! These minty cookies look fabulous!
I really want some of these, please. We will be waiting patiently.
Hate to bug you when you’re not feeling well, but…
about what size bag of Andes Mints did it take? And did you thumbprint them before you baked them or did it just look like it?
Take your time replying!
