How to Make Surprise Package Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. (Optional: Add ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder for double chocolate cookies).
- Stir in 1 cup crushed Andes mints.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
- Once chilled, roll rounded tablespoons of dough around 1-2 Andes mints (or more, to your liking!).
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove cookies from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, melt the remaining Andes mints (about 6-8 candies) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
