❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Andes Mints Cookies
1. Can I use a different type of mint chocolate instead of Andes mints?
Yes, you can use any mint chocolate candy or even mint chocolate chips. Just make sure the candy is flat enough to sit on top of the cookie. If you use chips, you can press a few into the dough before baking or sprinkle them on top after.
2. How do I store these cookies so they stay fresh?
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you stack them, place a sheet of wax paper between layers to prevent the mints from sticking. They also freeze well for up to three months.
3. Why did my Andes mints not melt onto the cookies?
The cookies need to be warm but not hot when you place the mint on top. If the cookies are too cool, the mint will not soften enough to stick. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes after coming out of the oven, then gently press the mint onto the center.
4. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 48 hours before baking. You can also freeze the dough balls. Just scoop them onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
5. My cookies spread too much. What did I do wrong?
If your cookies spread too much, the dough might have been too warm. Make sure your butter is softened but not melted. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading. Also, check that your baking soda is fresh.
6. Can I use a different extract instead of vanilla?
You can use peppermint extract for a stronger mint flavor in the cookie itself. If you do, use just 1/4 teaspoon since it is very potent. You can also use almond extract for a different twist, but the classic vanilla works best with the chocolate and mint.
