Calories 108kcal

1 ½ cups all purpose flour regular or gluten-free measure-for-measure flour blend
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter room temperature
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup Andes mints baking bits or mints finely chopped
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Green food coloring

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and green food coloring. Beat until combined.
Pour in the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
Fold in the Andes mints and mini chocolate chips, reserving a small amount of candy for topping the cookies if desired.
Use a tablespoon or 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on the lined cookie sheet, leaving around two inches between each cookie.
Press the cookies down slightly with your hand, then top the cookies with reserved candy, pressing the candy into the cookie dough slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are beginning to brown and the center is still soft.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Pro Tips

Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop will make scooping the cookies faster, less messy and the cookies will all be the same size!

Storing the Cookies

After they cool store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

To freeze the cookies: allow them to cool completely. Place in a freezer safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Can be thawed at room temperature.
