Fudgy Mint Cookies

These have to be some of the easiest cookies I've ever made. 

And some of the tastiest.  

Okay, so they do use a cake mix, which I generally try to avoid.....

but for these delicious morsels, I'm willing to make an exception.  

Chewy, fudgy, chocolaty, with little chunks of minty goodness in every bite, 

they're a huge hit wherever I take them.  

Recipe:  (adapted slightly from Taste of Home)

1 Devil's Food Cake Mix

1 T. water

2 eggs

1/2 package of Andes Mint Baking Chips

4 T. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375°.

In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, butter, and water until well combined.  Beat in eggs.  Stir in Andes baking chips.  Shape into 1-inch balls; roll in powdered sugar.  Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set.

Allow to cool for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
