Chop up Andes chocolates as desired.

In a bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Set the dry ingredients aside.

In another bowl, add 1 1/2 sticks of melted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of white sugar, and mix well.

Add 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk at room temperature, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Slowly add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined without overmixing.

Fold in 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the chopped Andes mints until combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto a baking sheet, rolling it in your hands and pressing down slightly.

Bake in the oven for 12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and top with more chocolate chips and chocolate chunks if desired.

Let the cookies cool for 15 minutes before serving.
