Mint Cookies

Mint and chocolate are a favorite combination of mine. This is a great surprise cookie!

Mint Cookies
1 chocolate cake mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Chocolate covered peppermint patties cut in half.


Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, blend together the cake mix, eggs, and oil until you have a workable dough. Pinch off a walnut-sized piece of dough and cover it around half a peppermint patty making sure you seal it completely. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet or use vegetable oil spray. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until set. Let cool on the pan a moment before removing to the cooling rack.

Idea . . .
Can't find chocolate covered peppermint patties? You can use several mint-flavored chocolate chips, small peanut butter cups (for an entirely different flavor), other types of chocolate mint candy . . .
