This little cookie has a sweet minty treat inside - an Andes mint. Oh, MAN...my favorite after-dinner mint. You can't get any more rich and creamy than those. These are excellent for a cookie tray at Christmas or a gift basket for a friend's birthday. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/4 cup shortening |
1/4 cup butter |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 egg |
1 2/3 cups self-rising flour |
18 -20 andes mints candies |
powdered sugar or cocoa, for dusting |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Beat sugars, shortening, butter, vanilla and egg in a small bowl. Stir in flour.
3. Shape 1 tablespoons of dough around one mint. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 9-10 minutes or until just golden brown.
5. Roll in powdered sugar or cocoa and store in an air-tight container.
