Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are a favorite because they remind me so much of those iconic Thin Mint Cookies we all love but these are even better! Most importantly, they are super easy to make with a box cake mix. They are a great baking project with your kids. The very best part is that they taste fantastic. The combination of rich chocolate and cool fresh mint is always a winner, if you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, you will love these cookies.

1 cup - Andes mint baking chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, baking chips, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, until a cohesive dough forms with no dry patches.
Use a cookie scoop to portion out 2 Tablespoon-sized pieces of dough onto the baking tray, about 3” apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cookies have puffed up and cracks have formed.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place one unwrapped chocolate on each cookie.
Allow the chocolate to warm up for 3-5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the cookie. Allow the melted chocolate to set before storing or serving.
Repeat with all cookies.
