Pinterest has done it to me again!! I could spend all day there….
Chocolate and mint is a classic flavor combination this time of year, and it seems like you either love it or hate it. I love it. When I saw these cookies from Six Sisters Stuff, I fell in love immediately. It was only a matter of how soon I could make them. They are super easy too, they start out with a cake mix! I unfortunately didn’t have a cake mix in the house, so I had to get resourceful. I found a recipe to make your own cake mix! It was super simple to put together in the food processor.
I LOVED these cookies. They were slightly under baked, so they were fudgy and just so good! My cookies are not as thick as the original recipe, but I blame that on my own cake mix, the altitude, and my uncertainty for how many cups are in a box mix. Thin or not, I am so glad I still have some of these in the freezer!
Andes Mint Cookies
From Six Sisters Stuff
1 Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 package Andes Mints (I used the baking chips)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cake mix, oil and eggs. Drop onto baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 6 – 9 minutes, be careful not to over bake them.
Immediately after removing from the oven, place Andes Mints on top of the cookies. Use 1 mint per cookie, or a spoonful of the baking chips. After about 5 minutes, use the back of a spoon to spread the melted mint across the top.
Makes approx. 36 cookies

Ooh, yeah…easy, minty, fudgy…another winner, Erin!
I too, am a chocolate and mint lover (and pintrest too!) These look great! I never thought about making my own cake mix like the box stuff, but that could be a great idea for a homemade gift! I’d have to store those cookies in the freezer too so I wouldn’t eat them all right away!
I just got into Pintrest about 2 weeks ago and let me tell you its dangerous. I have to make myself avoid it because once I am in I am gone for a while. Beautiful cookies!
Yummmmmmm! These look so good! And easy! Win!
These sound good, Erin! I can’t get enough of the chocolate mint combo and these are easy enough that I could let my teen boys make them. Yay!
Hey now this is my kind of baking.
I had to laugh when you had to make your own cake mix… too cute!! 
I wish I had seen this earlier, my box of mints are half eaten and for some reason finding a single box at any store was a difficult task. Maybe after the holidays there will be more available. Bravo to you for making your own cake mix for these, they do look like a delicious treat.
Delicious AND easy! YUM! Pinterest is an amazing site – it’s easy to get stuck in there, wander out 9 hours later with a list of things to make, bake and do!
Oh these look so good. I looove Andes mints! Erin you also won my giveaway! Send me your address so I can send you the Duncan Hines coupons and a starbucks giftcard!
Love Pinterest and love these mints! Such an awesome recipe
Four ingredients only! I know what I’m baking tomorrow!
Chocolate mint, yes please!!! Love the sound of these fudgy cookies!!
Ohh, I love Andes mints and it’s strange because I do not always like minty things. These cookies look so yummy!
