Soft Andes Mint Cookies Recipe
Once you preheat the oven to 350 degrees, the fun of cooking baking has started! It’s just so relaxing to make the flour mixture, add the baking chips, and make the dough balls to put on the baking mat to bake. Baking in the kitchen is one of the most relaxing activities that I love to do.
My boys love when I bake as well because they get to enjoy the flavors! They get a little impatient with the whole “cooling completely” part of the cookie recipe but I don’t want them to burn their mouths!
What is the easiest way to soften butter for baking cookies?
To get the butter smooth and creamy, you just need to get it to room temperature. That way it’ll cream up nice and easily when you’re using the stand mixer or electric mixer to make the dough.
