How to Make Starlight Mint Surprise Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Make a small indentation in the center of each ball.
- Place a small piece (about 1/2 teaspoon) of your favorite mint chocolate or Andes mint into the indentation.
- Seal the dough around the mint, ensuring it's completely enclosed.
- Place the cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Top each cookie with a walnut half.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
