Ingredients
- 1 cup cold salted butter, cubed (227g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (100g)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (188g)
- 1 cup cake flour (118g)
- 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder (50g)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups Andes Mints chopped into chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed until light. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating well and scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add both types of flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed just until combined. Stir in Andes mint chips.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop around 18 evenly-sized balls and space them evenly on the baking sheets so they have room to spread while baking.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies look set around the edges and dry on top. If they still look shiny, they probably need another minute, but don't overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
