Andes Creme de Menthe Chunk Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies using Andes mint chips? Yes, please! Recipe is from the back of the Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips bag, found with the regular chocolate chips in your baking aisle. :)

Ingredients:
1/2 c butter (Blue Bonnet)
3/4 c dark brown sugar*
1/2 c white granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 pkg (10 oz) Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips
2-2/3 c all-purpose flour

*Don't have brown sugar? No problem! Add molasses to white sugar at a ratio of 1T:1c! I don't even buy brown sugar anymore because it's always hard when I want to use it, despite all of the tricks I've tried!

Directions:
Blend butter, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla and eggs until mixed. Stir in Andes baking chips and then flour.
Chill approximately one hour in refrigerator before baking.
Spoon onto baking sheets and bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes.
The recipe says it will make 4 dozen cookies. I made half the recipe and about 3 dozen cookies.
