Andes Mints Cookies
INGREDIENTS
1 box dark chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 squeeze pouch Betty Crocker green cookie icing
2 cups Andes Mints - broken into small pieces
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350° degrees.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This will keep the cookies from spreading into each other.
3. In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, baking powder, eggs, vegetable oil and extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Using a tablespoon or cookie dough scoop, transfer the dough onto the baking sheet.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
8. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool.
9. Once cooled, squeeze icing over the top of each cookie.
10. Sprinkle broken pieces of Andes mint candies on top of the icing.
11. ENJOY!!
Note: This recipe will yield a dozen large cookies.
Notes & Tips
- This recipe makes a dozen generously sized cookies, perfect for sharing (or enjoying yourself!).
- To add extra minty zing, try using a touch of peppermint extract in the green icing.
- If you don't have a squeeze pouch of icing, a spoon works just fine to drizzle it over the cooled cookies.
I hope you'll give these Andes Mints Cookies a try – I'm sure you'll love them as much as we do!

Hi, my name is Melissa! I live in Spanish Fork, Utah. I'm happily married to Rob, and together we have five wonderful kids. Our family loves to embark on adventures, often in our RV, exploring the great outdoors. I'm an avid reader and a big fan of Hallmark movies – they always have a way of lifting my spirits. Hiking is another passion of mine; there's nothing like the tranquility of nature. I have a sweet tooth for chocolate and a love for Mexican food, both of which make life a little more delicious. In my downtime, I enjoy playing games with my family, creating memories and sharing laughter. Life is an adventure, and I'm here to enjoy every moment of it!
