Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and salt until fluffy. Beat in the egg and then gradually beat in the flour just until the dough forms.
Using a cookies press (I used the Christmas tree shape) press out the cookies about a half inch apart on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Bake for 10 minutes or until very lightly golden brown along the edges.
Transfer on to a wired rack to cool completely.
Melt the chocolate and using an off set spatula, spread a thin layer on the back of each cookie, sprinkle on some of the Andes mints, place in the fridge to harden at least 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
