    Substitutions for this Recipe:

    Unsalted Butter: Butter is essential to this recipe. We haven't tried it with dairy-free butter but it might work!

    Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips: Your favorite brand of semi-sweet chips will work perfectly, opt for dark chocolate for a bolder flavor.

    Cocoa Powder: Adds a rich chocolate flavor, we don't recommend substituting.

    Milk: You can substitute milk with half and half, low-fat milk, or nondairy milk.

    Vanilla Extract: Helps to add flavor, we don't recommend substituting.

    Eggs: We don't recommend substituting eggs, but you can read this article on Egg Substitutions for Baking if you need to substitute. Try it at your own risk!

    Sugar: We don't recommend substituting white sugar unless you have to, but White sugar can be used interchangeably with brown sugar.

    Brown Sugar: You can add 1 teaspoon of molasses to white sugar to make brown sugar. Check out this post on Sugar Substitutes for Baking for other ideas.

    All Purpose Flour: We don't recommend substituting the flour, but you can check out this article on Cake Flour vs. All-Purpose Flour or Substitutions for All-Purpose Flour

    Baking Soda: Baking soda is essential for this recipe. Do not substitute with baking powder.

    Salt: Helps to add flavor, we don't recommend substituting.

    Andes Mints: Andes also offers their tasty mints in chip form. Mint chips can be used in place of the small chocolates if necessary.

    Tips for the Best Chocolate Mint Cookies

    • Shop the Sales : Stock up on baking supplies and chocolate candies during holiday sales.
    • Mint topping: Press extra mint pieces into the tops of your cookies either before or after baking.
