Instructions

Makes 8 Cookies

1. Begin by making brown butter cut butter into cubes. In a heavy saucepan heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
2. While your butter cools sift your dry ingredients.
3. Once the butter has cooled preheat oven to 350F
4. In a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
5. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
6. Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
7. Add cookie crumbs, chocolate chips and andes bits and fold until combined. Do not over mix.
8. Cookies need to be baked right away this dough does not refrigerate well.
9. Drop the dough by 1/4 cup balls or use an ice cream scoop. Flatten the cookie dough and cut an Andes chocolate in half and add the Andes stacked in the center. Wrap the cookie dough around the cheesecake filling closing it out. Add more chocolate chips and Andes bits on top. Bake 6 at a time in a large cookie sheet.
10. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
11. This is optional but once cookies are ready you can fix the shape with a large round cookie cutter or a big measuring cup.(Videos on my insta for reference)
12. Once you fix the shape of your cookies if you choose to add more chocolate chip and Andes Bits pieces to the top! .

TIPS

1. Cookies will look a little undone once taken out they will finish baking in the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely to set.
