I am in full on Christmas cookie making mode! And I have way more ideas than I have time. Lucky for all of us, I made the time to bake these cookies. Holy moly, you guys, these are quite possibly the Best. Cookies. Ever.
The cookie itself is thick, soft, chewy – almost like a brownie, but not as dense. There is a double dose of mint here – peppermint extract and Andes mints. Annnnnnd this is me so there’s also a triple dose of chocolate! Cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and m&m’s!
When you bite into one of these Chocolate Peppermint M and M Cookies, you get the crunch from the m&m’s, soft, chewiness from the cookie, melty, smooth chocolate chips and Andes mints, and you will her the angels sing! Maybe that was just me, but seriously. These are SPECTACULAR! Â Enjoy!

I live in Australia and the cost of buying the Andes product from the US is prohibitive. What sort of product should I look for as a substitute for the Andes pieces. Should it be crunchy, soft, easy to melt? I can’t find any info describing the Andes product in detail to be able to work out a substitute…
Stephanie Brubaker says
Oh what a shame! Andes are small chocolate bars with layers dark chocolate and mint. You could just use chocolate chips and add a touch more mint extract. They will still be delicious!
