Tips & Tricks (5)

Mint Candy Placement Magic 🍬
Chill Andes mints for 10 minutes before chopping to prevent melting and achieve cleaner, more precise cuts for even distribution in the cookie dough.
Dough Chilling Technique 🧊
Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a thicker, more structured cookie with concentrated mint flavor.
Melting Mint Topping Trick 🍫
Immediately after removing cookies from the oven, place a whole Andes mint on top of each cookie and let it melt slightly for a smooth, glossy finish.
Sugar Cookie Mix Upgrade 🥄
Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the sugar cookie mix to create a more tender, bakery-style texture that perfectly complements the mint flavor.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌿
Mix finely chopped Andes mints into the cookie dough and also use whole candies on top for a double-mint intensity that elevates the entire cookie experience.
