Andes Mint Cookies

Ok guys. Here is the cookie recipe that should be your go-to for parties this holiday season. Close friends from back home know this recipe well because its my favorite, and the most requested treat in my arsenal. 

If you haven't noticed already, I don't do complicated or time consuming recipes. So it won't be a shock to you when I say that this recipe is easy and only has 4 ingredients. 

Here's what you need:

-1 chocolate cake mix 
(I didn't realize the one I bought had little 
chocolate chips in it...Christmas came early this year!)
-1 pack of Andes Mints or mint Hershey's Kisses if its holiday season.
(I actually prefer to use the Kisses)
-2 eggs
-1/2 cup oil

Here's what you do:
-Mix together eggs, oil, and cake mix
-Unwrap mints (Great job for little helpers) and break in half.
-Take half a mint (Or 1 Hershey's kiss) and completely cover with dough. I break the mints in half because it is easier to cover a square, rather than a rectangle. (And I prefer the kisses because it eliminates that step all together!)
-Place on cookie sheet, and bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes

Because the cookies are already brown, the best way to tell they are done is when the tops look "cracked." This recipe yields about 3 dozen cookies, depending on how generous you are with the dough.

Beware, these are addicting. I made them last night at my husband's request, and guess how many are left...7. And I only ate one because it broke when I pulled it off the pan! 
Get em while they're hot.
