So it’s fair to say I’m on a little bit of a chocolate mint kick right now. This pretty much happens annually as St. Patrick’s Day rolls around. Then, next thing you know it’s all about eggs, nests, and pastels 🙂

My husband has BBQs at his work usually at least once a month. (Yes, I know. Only in California.) It’s just for the IT team and everyone chips in and brings something for the group. If it’s available, I always ask Chris to sign up for a dessert. It’s a great excuse for me to bake up something yummy. Like these Andes Triple Chocolate Mint Pudding Cookies.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

I’ve always had a soft spot for chocolate cookies. Guess that stems from my chocolate obsession. I have a really great chocolate cookie recipe that I like to play around with by adding and subtracting ingredients. I’ve done maraschino cherries, Reese’s, peppermint, cherry-filled, and now these.

This week I wanted to make a chocolate mint pudding cookie. Perfect, right? Well, it took me a couple of tries but I finally nailed it.

Chocolate pudding, semi-sweet chocolate chips, cocoa and andes baking chips are the key components of this cookie. (You can never have too much, chocolate, right?) After the first go around I decided to stuff the cookie with an Andes mint. #bestdecisionever

The cookies bake up so soft and tender and are just packed with chocolate and mint flavor! The cookies were absolutely amazing but I didn’t stop there. I melted more Andes baking chips and drizzled them on the top. Then I made up a mint drizzle in a pretty green that really adds some pop to these cookies. I’m a total sucker for a drizzle.

Seriously. What’s not to love?

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg room temperature
• 2 tbsp water
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup Andes creme de menthe baking chips
• 24 Andes mints

Drizzles

• 1/2 cup Andes creme de menthe baking chips
• 4 oz white candy coating I used CandiQuik
• 1/2 tsp mint extract
• green gel food coloring

Instructions

Cookies

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

• Whisk together flour, cocoa, pudding mix, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

• Cream sugars and butter together until light and fluffy.

• Add in egg, vanilla and water and beat until well blended.

• Gradually stir in dry ingredients.

• Remove from oven and let cool on a rack.

Drizzle

• Melt andes chips in a small bowl in microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Transfer to a plastic bag and cut off a corner of the bag. Just a little bit so you have a nice thin drizzle.

• Let drizzles set up before storing in an airtight container.
