CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW MINT COOKIES

I love chocolate and mint.  Mint chip has always been a favorite ice cream flavor and when Christmas rolls around I am all about the chocolate-mint flavor combo.  Since St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner (still can’t believe my sweet baby will be born by then) I decided to whip up a few new chocolate mint cookies and wow these Chocolate Marshmallow Mint Cookies did not disappoint.  I love these chocolate cake mix cookies (they almost taste like a brownie they’re so soft) and the cookies are topped with fluffy marshmallow frosting and then a layer of right mint chocolate icing, yum! I sprinkled a few Andes Mints on top for added color and texture.

Ingredients
Soft Chocolate Cookies

• 1 box Devil's Food Chocolate Cake Mix I prefer Pillsbury, they don't flatten out when baking
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup oil

Marshmallow Frosting

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 7-oz jar Marshmallow Creme (fluff)
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2-3 cups powdered sugar
• green food dye optional

Mint Chocolate Icing

• 1/4 cup butter melted
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. peppermint extract
• 3 Tbsp. milk
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
COOKIES:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Combine cake mix, eggs and oil in a bowl.  The dough will be thick.  Make golfball sized dough balls, place on cookie sheets and bake for 7-10 minutes, don't over-bake! Let cool.

MARSHMALLOW FROSTING:

1. Beat butter, salt, marshmallow creme, vanilla and 2 cups powdered sugar together. Continue to add more powdered sugar to thicken and add green food dye if desired.  If it becomes too thick add 2 tablespoons milk! Frost cooled cookies.
