Candy Cane Mint Cookie Recipe
- 1 Devil Food Cake Mix
- 2 Eggs.
- 1 Tb Vanilla
- ½ Cup Unsalted Soft Butter or Margarine
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
- 6 to 8 Candy Canes or 1 Cup of Mint Baking Chips
- Preheat over at 350ºF
- To make the cookie dough mix together cake mix, eggs and butter.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir together.
- Peel the candy canes and crush them in small pieces. Add them to the cookie dough.
- Bake them at for 8 to 9 minutes. Do not over cook.
- Let it snow... Sprinkle powder sugar on top of baked cookies.
They are so good.
If you want to make them as chocolate Chip Mint Cookies just
replace the Candy Canes with Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips.
So yummy!
Plan A
To give them away as a gift put your mint cookies inside of a Mason Jar.
NOTE: They need to be small enough to enter inside of the jar.
Decorate your Mason Jar to give it a festive look!
Plan B
OK… I am going to be absolutly honest with you.
I made the first batch of cookies and they were so good that Mimi and I ate half of them.
So we ended up having only one jar done. 🙁
{ The one went to school with my son for his AMAZING teacher. }
Then I realized that Christmas is almost HERE and that I had many more teachers on my list.
So I thought “girl no more baking. Time for Plan B”
The Cookie Mix in a Jar…
The first thing you want to do is empty a full box of Devil Food Cake inside of a jar. I freaked out when I first did this because it filled up the entire jar. Just squish the cake mix down as much as you can, you’ll be amazed how much space you’ll have left.
Trace the inside of the lid on craft paper. Cut it and hot glue it on the lid.
I made this free printable for the Holidays… I just punched a little hole on it.
I punched some snow flakes and I hanged it all from the jar with some baker twine…
