Soft and gooey chocolate cookies with small pieces of chocolate mints inside.
These are my absolute favorite cookies–and that is saying a LOT considering how much I love to bake! I haven’t decided which is yummier…the cookies or the cookie dough! Seriously, these cookies are fantastic and my favorite thing about them is how soft and gooey they are! I love making a big batch of these and freezing half of the dough so I can pop them in the oven and have fresh ones at any time!

I was wondering about the “2/4 tsp baking soda”. Figure it’s a typo. Is that supposed to be 1/4 or 1/2?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Dottie, thanks so much for pointing out the typo. I have updated the recipe to 1/2 tsp baking soda!
Dottie says
Thanks Lauren for the update. My daughter and I are having baking day today and I’m actually mixing these up right now! Can’t wait to taste them!!
Michelle says
The directions says to mix in butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. How much vanilla?? There is no vanilla listed in the ingredients. 🙂 Thanks!
Lauren Allen says
Hi Michelle, fixed! 1 tsp vanilla 🙂 thanks

Janice Prosterman says
Delicious!!! Family loved! I made a few changes: I used 3/4 cup butter, 1 1/4 cup sugar, 1 cup white flour, 1 cup whole wheat flower and I added 1/4 cup applesauce. The Andes mint pieces that I bought wear a 10 oz. pkg. and that size worked well.
