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

  • Chill the cookie dough for a bit to keep the dough from spreading while baking.
  • Line the baking sheets with parchment paper so the cookies don't stick.
  • Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for a few minutes after you remove them from the oven so they set up.
  • Switch up the mint candy for white chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  • Spray the bottom of a glass with nonstick spray before pressing the cookies down. It will keep the dough from sticking to the glass.
