I absolutely love baking cookies during the holiday season. I always bake all my favorite recipes and then try out a couple of new cookies too. I particularly enjoy whipping up many different types of cake mix cookies. To make some festive cookies with flavors perfect for the Christmas season, I made some dark chocolate Andes peppermint crunch cookies using dark chocolate cake mix and Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips. You can even freeze the cookies to enjoy later.
Ingredients
- 1 box of dark chocolate cake mix
- 6 tablespoons of softened butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 cup plus extra Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Beat together the softened butter, eggs, and water in a large bowl.
- Slowly add the cake mix to the butter mixture. Combine thoroughly.
- Stir one cup of Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips into the dough.
- Form 1-inch balls of cookie dough.
- Flatten the cookie dough balls and press the top into the extra baking chips.
- Place the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave 2 inches between the balls.
- Bake the cookies for 9 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown.
- Allow the baked cookies to rest for a minute before removing from the cookie sheet.
- Store the dark chocolate Andes peppermint crunch cookies in an airtight container.
