Equipment
Ingredients
- 18 ounce box cake mix I used white but yellow would work too
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 20-25 drops of green food coloring optional
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In large bowl, whisk together cake mix and baking powder.
- Stir in the eggs, oil, peppermint extract, and green food coloring and mix with a spatula or spoon until dough forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate dough 15-30 minutes or as needed for easier handling.
- Near the end of the chiling time, pre-heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop and shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in your hands to make smooth. On prepared baking sheets, place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart.
- Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are set and middles are puffy but dry. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to wire cooling racks.
Notes
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze cookies, baked or unbaked, for up to 3 months. Bake cookies frozen, do not thaw. Add on a few minutes extra of baking time.
