Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies



First of all, please let me just say "mmmm...."



These are so rich and delicious.  Just the way we like our cookies, huh ladies?  And did I mention that they are SUPER QUICK AND EASY?!?!?!!!  even better.

I made a batch today with one of my friend's daughters.  She decided that they were especially good warm.   I doubly agree.

Enoch also helped us bake


Ingredients:

     
  • 1/2 cup butter (semi-melted)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure mint extract
  • 1 box Devil's food cake mix (dry, do not follow directions on the box)
  • 1/2 package of Andes creme de menthe baking chips (next to the chocolate chips in the baking aisle)



Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F
  2. Soften/half-melt your butter (30 sec in microwave should do the trick)
  3. Combine butter, eggs, & mint extract in large bowl and stir well
  4. Stir in cake mix (this will take some muscle)
  5. Stir in baking chips
  6. Place spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet (preferably with parchment paper for easier clean up)
  7. Bake at 350 F for 8-10 minutes
  8. Let cool on wire rack for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet
  9. Taste-test... just to be sure they're superbly mouth-watering

Notes:
Cool daddy says "don't burn the cookies!"
This made 2.5 dozen medium size cookies for us.  It could easily make 2 dozen large cookies or 4 dozen small ones, depending on how you like your cookies.  I consider the cookies "done" when the edges are firm, even if they look a little moist in the middle still.
