We had a Christmas party to go to and there was a cookie exchange...so I needed to make 8 dozen cookies. I don't enjoy baking. I can bake, but I'm not that great at it and I really don't love it. I think what I dislike is the mess. Every time I bake I have to vacuum and clean up a fine flour dusting from everything...and I don't like messes. So anyway, I wanted to try out a cake mix cookie because I loved the pumpkin cookies so much. I found this recipe which looked really Christmas-y so I adapted it and it was great! These cookies are really yummy and I love the gooey mint. I used the Hershey's mint truffle kisses and chopped them up, but Andes chips would be great. You can definitely play with this recipe.
I will definitely make these over and over again! AND I baked 8 dozen of them in only a couple hours which is a plus. These cookies would be a great little gift for your neighbors or a teacher.
Dark Chocolate Mint Cake Mix Cookies
recipe adapted from rubyreduction.com
makes 2 dozen cookies
1 box chocolate cake mix (I used Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge)
2 eggs
1/2 c. oil (I used a little bit less than that)
1 c. chopped Hershey's kisses, your favorite flavor will be great. I used mint truffle.
The best way to chop the kisses is to unwrap them all and refrigerate at least an hour. Then chop them up and measure out 1 generous cup. Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl mix together cake mix, eggs & oil with a hand mixer until everything is blended well, no clumps in the mix. Stir in the chopped kisses. Roll into balls, about 1-1 1/2 inches, and bake 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
