Mint and chocolate make me think of the winter holidays. I also love the simplicity of Christmas cookies made with boxed cake mixes. Yesterday I shared my new recipe for chocolate cake crinkles made with a box of chocolate cake mix. In addition to the plain chocolate cookies, I also recently make a delicious batch of mint chocolate fudge cake crinkles using chocolate fudge cake mix and mint extract.
Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate fudge cake mix
- 6 tablespoons of softened butter
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of mint extract
- 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of corn starch
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Combine the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and corn starch in a small bowl.
- Beat together the softened butter, eggs, milk, and mint extract in a large bowl.
- Slowly add the cake mix to the butter mixture. Combine thoroughly.
- Drop teaspoons of the cookie dough into the powdered sugar mixture.
- Roll the dough ball in the cocoa powder mixture until thoroughly covered.
- Form the cocoa-covered dough into a ball.
- Place the cocoa-covered dough ball on an ungreased cookie sheet. Leave 2 inches between the dough 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 mint chocolate fudge cake crinkles in an airtight container.
