Oreo Mint Cookies (Print)
Chewy cookies with Oreos, minty crunch, and rich dark chocolate chips. Great for holidays!
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 large egg.
02 -
½ tsp vanilla extract.
03 -
8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened.
04 -
½ tsp peppermint extract.
05 -
1 box white cake mix.
06 -
4 oz cream cheese, softened.
07 -
1 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch pieces (save some for topping).
08 -
1 cup Oreo cookie chunks.
09 -
½ cup dark chocolate chips (keep a little extra for topping).
# Steps:
01 -
Mix the softened butter, cake mix, egg, cream cheese, vanilla, and peppermint extract in a bowl until the dough is soft.
02 -
Carefully fold in the cookie chunks, chocolate chips, and peppermint bits.
03 -
Pop the dough in the fridge for at least an hour to let it firm up.
04 -
Heat up your oven to 350°F (177°C). Roll the dough into 24 evenly sized balls.
05 -
Put 12 of the dough balls on a baking tray and bake for about 10-11 minutes. Keep the other half in the fridge. Don’t let them bake too long—they should stay soft!
06 -
Once baked, leave them on the tray for a moment before moving them to a rack to cool completely.
# Notes:
01 -
These chewy cookies bring together Oreo chunks, peppermint bits, and chocolate for a holiday treat.
02 -
Keep an eye on bake time to avoid losing the soft texture.
03 -
Chilling the dough stops the cookies from spreading out too much while baking.
