Cake-Mix Mint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
- Cooking spray
- 1 box devil's food cake mix for two 9-inch rounds, such as Duncan Hines
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup marshmallow cream
- Cook's Note: Some cake mix brands will yield flatter and fudgier cookies.
- Others will produce puffier and slightly cakier cookies.
- Both are delicious in this recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Beat the cake mix, eggs, butter and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and no bits of dry cake mix are left.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and peppermint extract.
- Drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, using about 2 tablespoonfuls for each cookie (a small ice cream scoop will make this task easier) and spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake until set around the edges but still soft in the center, about 10 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Continue to bake cookies with the remaining batter.
- Place about 1 tablespoon marshmallow cream on half the cookies and top each with a second cookie, gently pressing on the marshmallow; it will continue to spread to the edges on its own in a few minutes.
