Last week, I just felt like baking. When you’re dieting as much as Dan and I have this year, there aren’t a lot of opportunities for baking, simply because we’re left with a kitchen full of sweets!
I found a 4-ingredient recipe I wanted to try for Andes Mint Cookies.
1 box Devils Food cake mix (I used milk chocolate)
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil (I substituted applesauce to keep it light)
Andes mints!
Mix the cake mix, 2 eggs and oil together. Do NOT follow the cake mix directions on the box! It should be just a bit thicker than cake mix
Drop spoonfulls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. I’ve never been graceful with this step. Good thing this cookie is about taste, not looks!
Bake at 350° (fahrenheit) for 6-9 minutes. In the mean time, ready your mints!
When they’re ready, pull cookies out of the oven and place 1 unwrapped Andes mint on top of each cookie.
Wait 5 minutes. They don’t change in shape, but I assure you they’re soft and melty!
Take a butter knife or back of a spoon and drag across each cookie top to spread mint like frosting
All done! If you eat them hot out of the oven they are warm and gooey, and if you wait the mint topping will harden ever so slightly. Either way, you really can’t lose.
Enjoy!
holy crap that sounds amazing. :p Jelly of your baking skills!
