Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until smooth.

Beat in the egg until completely incorporated then add in the vanilla.

Add in the flour mixture and cocoa powder and mix until the dough has come together and you don't see white. Pour in the Andes mints into the dough and use your hands to mix them in.

Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough and place each cookie 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the center is set but still glistening and fudgy. Let the cookies cool for 3-5 minutes on the pan, press in some of the reserved mints for garnish, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
