- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.

- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
