Mint Chocolate Cookies

I'm sorry about the third mint dessert recipe in a row. And if you hate mint, I'm really sorry. However, if you like thin mints, these are the cookie for you. But if you don't like to use prepackaged mixes, these aren't the cookies for you. Because they're made using a cake mix and topped with a thin mint or grasshopper cookie. And in spite of all that, they are awesomely delicious. And easy. Super easy. Since Christmas is just a few days away, easy is where we need to be right now...or at least where I need to be right now.

Six ingredients. Four days till Christmas. Make these.

Mint Chocolate Cookies
Makes about 40 cookies
Print this recipe

1 package Devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
Powdered sugar
40 thin mints/grasshopper cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, mix together the cake mix, shortening, eggs, and water until fully combined. Form the dough into one inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart from each other.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Once you pull them out of the oven, immediately put a thin mint on each cookie. Let cool for one minute on the sheet and then remove to a flat surface to cool.

They are seriously one of my favorites. So easy and when the thin mint melts on the cookie from the oven, your house smells ah.maz.ing.

     Welcome!

    Cooking is fun and easy at high altitude, but baking can be frustrating. About 90% of my recipes work everywhere, but some are adjusted so us mountain dwellers can enjoy baked goods from scratch. I hope you find great recipes on here for your family, and I'll let you know if any are adjusted for high altitude.
