Andes Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Andes Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Guys!!!! CHRISTMAS COOKIES!!

Pretty much the best thing ever, right?! Five years ago, I had my first Christmas away from home. My sister and I were living in Florida and it was just two of us. We went to the movies, got Chinese food, and then spent the whole night making batch after batch of Christmas cookies! Every year since then I start getting super excited about baking cookies as soon as December hits!

Secret Recipe Club Cookie Carnival

This month, Secret Recipe Club gave me an extra excuse to bake cookies! Usually SRC takes a break for the holidays, but this year a whole bunch of us decided to participate in a virtual cookie exchange! We were each assigned another blog from which we had to choose a cookie recipe to bake. Today everyone is posting the cookie recipes they decided to bake, so now you’ve all got a HUGE round up of Christmas cookies for your holiday baking. Hooray!

Andes Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I was assigned the blog Our Eating Habits, written by Jamie, who loves to try new recipes with her family! She has got all kinds of recipes, from breakfast to dinner to dessert. Apparently she loves to bake, because she’s got a TON of baking recipes, including lots of cookie recipes. So I was excited that I had a wide variety to choose from.

These Cran-Pistachio Sugar Cookies sounded so yummy and are perfect for the holidays with their green and red ingredients! Pumpkin Gingersnaps (two of my favorite seasonal flavors) and Coconut M&M Cookies also sounded really yummy.

I ended up deciding on Jamie’s Andes Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies. I just can’t say no to minty desserts this time of year! Jamie originally found the recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction, and I am so glad that she did. These cookies were soft, pillowy and full of amazing melt-in-your-mouth Andes mints.

    I used Andes for a cookie exchange four years ago (wow, can that be right!?) and they were amazing. I don’t recall the recipe but these sure look like they’ll do!

    Such delicious looking cookies! I love Andes mints. Mostly because it reminds me of being in fancy hotels where they leave a mint on your pillow.

    I love andes mints – when I was younger, I used to love going to Olive Garden just to get the after dinner ones they’d give you! All my family members would even give me their share (now that’s love!).
