List of Ingredients

1 C. butter (no substitutes), softened
1 C. sugar
1./2 C. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 C. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
65 mint Andes candies


Recipe

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle. With floured hands, shape a tablespoonful of dough around 42 candies, forming rectangular cookies.

Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375ºF for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

In a microwave or saucepan, melt remaining candies; drizzle over cookies. Yields 3 1/2 dozen.
