Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF (177ºC).

  • Fold in the chopped Andes Mints with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Baking

  • Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
