1 (12 ounce) box devil's food cake mix (or normal size cake mix box)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 cup cocoa

2 -3 drops wilton's candy mint extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Let stand for 20 minutes, and then shape into very small 1/2 inch balls. Place these balls on a cookie sheet 2 inches a part, and smash down flat. You will need to spray a large spoon with Pam to make them flat.
  • Bake for about 8 minutes. Let cool until they reach room temperature.
  • Heat chocolate chips in either the microwave, or in a double boiler. When completely melted add a couple drops of the mint flavoring. Be carefull not to add too much, it is a powerfull flavoring.
  • You can either spread the melted chocolate on the cookies, or you can dip the cookies into the chocolate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. If possible, use organic butter, sugar, and flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before baking. Chilling firms the dough and makes it less likely to spread, resulting in a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before coating them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
  • If you don't have time to make the chocolate coating, you can simply dust the cookies with powdered sugar.
