How to Make Minty Middle Treasures

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Roll about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball. Place an unwrapped Andes mint in the center.
  6. Gently wrap the dough around the mint, ensuring it's fully enclosed. Roll into a slightly flattened ball.
  7. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, roll the cookies in powdered sugar or cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
