Merry Christmas!
This year I have actually had time to bake and cook things this break! Here is one of the recipes I was able to make. These cookies are exceptional. Everyone who tried these bundles of sweetness enjoyed them. It was hard not to eat more than one. However, they are pretty rich so that helps stop the urge to continue shoveling them into your mouth. Not everyone is a fan of peppermint, but if you are these are a good choice to satisfy your craving. The best part, in my opinion, is that you use cake mix. It makes the flavor and texture so much better than your average cookie. But hey, this isn't your average cookie; you've got cake mix, cream cheese, Oreo's, peppermint, AND chocolate chips. So many different flavors! But oh so yummy.
Enjoy your Christmas, or whichever holiday you celebrate, and let your tummies be filled with joy too!
Ingredients
1 box white cake mix
1 stick butter, melted
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup Oreo cookies, broken into chuncks
1 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch pieces
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Oven 350
{dough will have to sit for 30 minutes so don't make this in a rush}
Combine the cake mix, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until a soft dough forms. Add the softened cream cheese and beat in gently until combined. Stir in the peppermint pieces and chocolate chips. Then gently stir in the cookie chunks. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
Roll the dough into 36 balls. Bake on a cookie sheet for 9 minutes. Do not over bake; the cookies will be very soft and look undone. Let them sit on the hot cookie sheet for 2 minutes, with a spatula gently move them to a piece of wax paper. Very gently tap the tops of the cookies with the bottom of the spatula to even out the tops. Let them sit until completely cool.
Store in a sealed container.
