Day 7 of my 12 days of cookies: Andes Mint Cookies. Why can’t I stop making different variations of mint cookies? They’re just so good. You’re either a mint chocolate fan or you’re not.

These cookies surely turned out beautifully. I would say they’re even cover-worthy. The perfect folds, the height, the clean corners.. it’s everything I look for in a cookie.

They’re plenty soft and could even be subbed with plain chocolate if you don’t want to use Andes mints. This recipe comes from Gal on a Mission.

Day 6: Chocolate Sno-Cap Cookies

by Leave a Comment

Day 6 of my 12 days of cookies is a special one since it’s part of Rodelle’s “Cookies with Rodelle!” They’re featuring lots of other cookie recipes this month, so make sure to check them out with the badge/link at the end of this post. These chocolate sno-cap cookies are made with Rodelle’s vanilla extract (as with all of the recipes on my blog) and their baking cocoa powder.

Instead of the usual chocolate chips, I found a bag of sno-caps in the baking aisle and decided to go with those. They’re basically chocolate chips with white nonpareils on the bottom, hence the name “sno-caps.” They look like snowy mountain tops!

Although, to be honest, they all kind of meshed into the dough and it looks like I just added some sprinkles into the batter.

These cookies are rich and chewy, with a whole lot of chocolate. 

As I was photographing these photos, I noticed a hand jumped into my frame and a cookie was stolen. Ellie is so quick and quiet that I didn’t even hear her come up behind me!

She was so happy that she successfully stole a cookie off of my photography plate.

After she took a bite, she realized that they were still warm out of the oven and yelled, “HOT!” Ah, kids. Maybe one day she’ll learn.

Have you ever seen a cookie more festive? I love the pop of colors from the themed M&M’s. Obviously, you can use normal M&M’s just fine for any other day.IMG_7518

These cookies also have a package of pudding to make sure they stay soft for your celebrations.IMG_7527

Sorry things are slow around here– I’m working on pushing more posts out soon! Meanwhile, I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July! We’re going to try and keep Ellie up to watch fireworks for the first time. IMG_7529
