Ingredients

  • 1 Devil's Food cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (scant) vegetable oil (I would just barely under fill the 1/2 cup measuring cup)
  • 1 cup mint chips or chopped andes mints (optional)

Instructions

  • In a medium size bowl add the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until thoroughly combined. 
  • Add the mint chips to the batter. Stir until fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky.
  • You can either bake the cookies now, or scoop and chill the dough for 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will prevent the cookies from spreading too much. Use a 2 tablespoon sized cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough. Set each dough ball on a wax paper lined plate and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 375°F. 
  • After the dough has chilled, place the dough balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each dough ball. 
  • Bake at 375°F for 9-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool to warm room temperature. These cookies taste amazing when eaten warm!
  • Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. 

Notes

You can experiment with different mix ins, rather than mint chip or andes mint chunks you can use nuts, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, coconut, etc. You could also leave the mix-ins out entirely.
You can portion out the dough balls then chill or chill the entire bowl of cookie dough for 45 minutes and then portion.
