Creme de Menthe Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar very lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 package Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips
  • 2 2/3 cup all purpose flour

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown & granulated sugars, vanilla, baking powder & soda, eggs

  2. Stir in the baking chips

  3. Stir in the flour

  4. Split the dough in half & form two logs (roughly 2 inches wide) on plastic wrap & wrap up tightly 

  5. Place in the refrigerator & chill for roughly an hour 

  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place baking rack 1 level above the middle 

  7. Slice the chilled cookie dough logs into half inch thick slices & place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper 

  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes (I baked mine for exactly 9 minutes but all ovens are different so check at the 8 minute mark, be careful to not over bake)

  9. Remove when done & transfer cookies to a cooling rack after resting on the pan for 1-2 minutes 

Recipe Notes

I prefer to make logs out of the dough for several reasons. I can slice them however thick I want. I also find it so much easier & faster then scooping out one by one onto the baking sheet. I think the best reason for doing this is I can stick one in the freezer for a later time. This is nice for when I want to make homemade cookies but don't want to start from the beginning or if I don't want tons of cookies sitting around tempting me to eat, eat, eat. I can just pull the dough out of the freezer, slice, and bake whenever I am in the mood for cookies.
