Mint Chocolate Cakies

I was inspired to do something with our leftover holiday chocolates so it wouldn't go to waste. So I thought I could try my chances with using Andes Chocolate Mints as an icing and it worked out perfectly! This is a really easy cookie to bake and it's actually made from cake flour (hence, "cakies"!). An old friend showed me this trick and it not only makes everything easier, it makes the cookie super soft!

Ingredients

• 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 16 pieces of Andes Chocolate Mints, each broken in half

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Mix cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil in medium bowl. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place sugar in a small bowl. Roll cookie dough in sugar, then place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches away from each other. Bake 8-10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of cookie. Place cookie sheet on cooling rack.

While cookies are still warm, gently press a piece of Andes Chocolate Mint into the center of cookie. Repeat until all cookies contain a piece of chocolate mint. Beginning at the first cookie that you pressed, use the back of a spoon to swirl chocolate across the surface of the cookie. Let cool completely and enjoy!
