- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
 
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
 
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
 
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints.
 
- Scoop dough into rounded tablespoons and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
 
- Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
