Chocolate Mint Cookies
Ever since I saw Gina's chocolate mint cookies at KC, I have been drooling over it. Was wondering what sort of mint she used in her cookies. I was at the supermarket this morning and saw a pack of Andes Mint Parfait Thins on sale at a pittance discount of 10%. Didn't think twice just grab and quickly head home to try to bake this cookie. No recipe, so how? Never mind, I just have to concocte one. Was writing up this recipe on a recycled paper, ?g of butter to ?g of flour and....in the last minute I decided to add 1 tsp corn oil.
The aroma from baking this is hypnotic, you just feel like plonking your head into the raw dough. Surprisingly, the cookies turned out pretty well. This cookie has a melt in the mouth texture and you could feel the crunch of mint which has caramelised during the baking process.
Ingredients:
60g butter
1 tsp corn oil
30g icing sugar
1/8 tsp of salt
100g cake flour
15g cocoa powder
pinch of baking soda
50g Andes Mint Parfait(chopped up)
Method:
1. Cream butter, corn oil, icing sugar and salt till light and fluffy.
2. Fold in the sieved flour, cocoa powder and baking soda mixture.
3. Add in the chopped up Andes Mint and mix till a soft dough is formed.
4. Divide the dough into 18 pieces shape it round and flatten them a little.
5. Bake on a lined tray at 180C for 25 - 30 minutes.

Hi, Florence:
Is it a soft or crispy cookie? I always fail in baking crispy cookie. Whenever the cookies turn brown in the oven, they were already over baked. How can I tell the cookies are done in the oven?
Sally
so creative to incorporate andes mint into the cookies, I have always loved this mint :D
Flo, I hope you don't mind me linking your blog at my blogger.
Thanks!
Hi precious moments,
Paiseh, paiseh!
Hi Sally,
This cookie is crispy on the outside and soft in the inside.
Hi Lin,
Love the Andes mints in these.
Any news on your blog yet? Do keep me posted! :)
Hi jadepearl,
My pleasure! ^o*
hi florence,
it sure looks like those from Famous Amos! bet they tastes just as great! I am going to try this out soon! Andes my favourite mint choc!
Btw, Thanks for giving me the contacts for the HK bakery shop, my friend managed to get me the hello kitty moulds!
Hi Chloe,
Glad that your friend manage to buy the hk moulds for you. What else did you buy?
Famous Amos, heard about it but never tried it before.
Hi Florence,
See if i get a chance to take some famous amos cookies pics for you to see :P She only bought the moulds for me as I am not there, else it would definately be more than that!:P
Hi Florence,
Just wanna check with you on the ingredients. I notice you did not use eggs or milk for this. Would not the dough be very dry while mixing?
i absolutely love your site. im a culinary student in singapore. im gonna try some of your recipes someday. all looks soo yummy.
Hi Chloe,
You will get a soft dough after mixing everything!
I tried this. Initially got a shock coz' hubby said it is powdery (fresh from oven). But after a day, gosh, it is really addictive. Now I am down with a sore throat coz' I whacked the whole tub by myself. Thanks for the great recipe. This is to keep.
Hi Florence,
Can you share where I can get the hello kitty mould in Hong Kong?
Thank you.
Hi,
If you are referring to the Hello Kitty 3-D jelly moulds, they are from UNY in City Plaza. I'm not sure if they are available during winter time 'cos they are summer products.
Is it possible to make this as a sugar cookie with the chocolate mints instead of chocolate cookies? What would need to be changed?
Hi!
Is there any differences in castor sugar and icing sugar? For your chocolate mint cookies, can I use Castor sugar instead?
