Andes Mint Cookies Ingredients and Substitutions
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix, or Devil’s Food Cake Mix – Use only the cake mix powder.
- ½ cup vegetable oil – canola oil or baking olive oil
- 2 eggs – room temperature
- 1 (10-ounce) package Andes Baking Bits – or chop an equal amount of Andes chocolate mint candies
How to Make Andes Mint Cookies
- PREP. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
- MIX. In a bowl, mix cake mix, oil, and eggs.
- BAKE. Use a cookie scoop to spoon dough out onto a greased baking sheet. Pat down a bit so they are not as rounded. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
- GARNISH. While cookies are still hot sprinkle Andes bits over the top. Let melt for a few minutes and then spread over the cookie top using the back of a spoon.
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- For the perfect cookie shape, we always use a spatula to round the edges right after we take them out of the oven.
- A medium cookie scoop will produce two dozen cookies, but you can use a smaller or bigger scoop for more or less cookies.
- Andes mint substitute. Melt 10 ounces of chocolate and add ¼-½ teaspoon of peppermint extract. Spread melted chocolate over the cookies.

Not an experienced baker. Used a bigger scoop first batch, got really big cookies, so left them in for 2 extra minutes. Ran out of Andes bits so chopped some Andes candies. My mistakes turned into a pretty good dessert when I stacked the cookies and served the stack with whipped creaam on top to hide the ugly. The candies do not harden much and aare more like ice cream syrup on a warm cookie. Reminds me of a lava cake-type dessert. Second batch was a smaller cookie [never say I don’t learn from my mistakes!] and I put a Hershey peppermint kiss on top. Pretty!
Yum! These are delicious!!
