Chocolate Mint Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients

Cookie bottom:

  • 1 Devil’s Food Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 eggs

Peppermint Frosting:

  • 1/2 c butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 c powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Chocolate Topping:

  • 1 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips (about ¾ of a bag)
  • 1/2 c butter (1 stick)

Instructions

1) Make the cookies.

  • Ignore the cake mix directions and mix the cake mix, oil & eggs together. Drop spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-9 minutes.

2) Make the frosting.

  • After the cookies cool, mix the butter, milk, powdered sugar, peppermint extract and food coloring. If you want it thicker, add more powdered sugar. If you want it thinner, add more milk. Spread on top of the cookie.

3) Make the chocolate topping.

  • Melt the chocolate chips & butter together. I like doing the stove top, but most people like it in the microwave. If using the microwave, do it in 30 second increments, stirring often. Spread the topping on top of each cookie. I just use a spoon to drizzle it on there.

Notes

Note: This makes about 24-30 cookies, if you make them small. I like to make them small because each cookie is really rich!
