Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 1 batch
Ingredients:
- 1 package (approximately 18.25 ounces) of chocolate or vanilla cake mix
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup of mint candies, chopped or whole depending on preference
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
-
Prepare the Cookie Sheets: Lightly coat two cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line them with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and helps them bake uniformly.
-
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use an electric mixer set to medium speed to beat the mixture for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is well blended and smooth.
-
Add the Mint Candies: Gently fold in the mint candies using a spoon. This adds a burst of minty sweetness to the cookie dough.
-
Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This spacing allows the cookies to spread properly without merging together.
-
Bake the Cookies: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to ensure they don’t overcook. The cookies should be firm to the touch.
-
Cool and Store: Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial as it helps the cookies firm up and makes them easier to handle. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
