Peppermint Patty Cookies

(Makes 30 cookies)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl mix together cookie mix, butter, extract, food coloring, and egg until soft dough forms.
Mix the chocolate chips and the mint pieces into dough.
Scoop dough balls onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Let cool slightly then move to a cookie rack to cool completely.
Repeat with remaining dough.

I lined a baking sheet with a Silpat liner and then used an ungreased additional baking sheet.

The cookies on the lined pan puffed up but stayed small and soft but the cookies

on the unlined pan spread out more and were flat and had a nice crunch.

In a bowl mix together cookie mix, butter, extract, food coloring,

and egg until soft dough forms.

Roughly chop the Andes mints into small pieces.

Mix the chocolate chips and the mint pieces into dough.

Doesn’t this look amazing?!

Using a small scoop, place 12 dough balls on each baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Chocolate + Mint = a match made in heaven!

The perfect melted gooey center!
