Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces dark chocolate cake mix
- ¼ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 1 cup mint baking chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare 2 or 3 large baking pans with parchment paper or spray.
- Whisk the cake mix and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl until combined.
- Mix the eggs and salted butter until a soft, smooth dough forms.
- Fold in the mint and milk chocolate chips until well distributed.
- Using a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out cookies and place them 1 ½ inches apart and from the sides of the pan on the baking sheets.
- Press the cookies down slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a clean glass.
- Bake each tray for 8-12 minutes or until set on the sides and slightly wrinkled on top.
- Allow cookies to cool for 7-10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack or serving tray.
Notes
- Shapely cookies - Chill dough briefly to prevent spreading, and let cookies sit on baking sheets for a few minutes after removing from oven to set up.
- Easy cleanup - Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy to clean pans.
- Flatten dough - Spray the bottom of a glass with nonstick spray before pressing cookies down to keep dough from sticking. This helps the cookies cook more evenly.
- Change up flavors - Swap mint candies for other candy, white chocolate chips, or chopped nuts if preferred.
