Chocolate Andes Mint Cookies

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (10 ounce) package Andes mint baking chips

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F
2. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
3. Cream butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
4. Add vanilla extract and eggs, beating well.
5. Switch from an electric mixer to a sturdy spoon, and gradually mix in the flour mixture.
6. Stir in mint chips. The dough will be VERY stiff.
7. Drop by well-rounded teaspoons (I use a cookie scoop) onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
8. Bake for 10 minutes, until centers are set.
9. Remove immediately (be careful, so cookies do not fall apart) to wire racks to cool completely.
