Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ⅓ cup butter softened
- 1 egg
- 20 peppermint patties or 8 large
- 16 ounces white or vanilla cake frosting optional
- ¼ cup crushed candy canes optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Mix together cake mix, cream cheese, butter and egg.
- Portion into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls (I used a cookie scoop to help with this). You should end up with approximately 20 cookie balls.
- Take one ball and flatten it in your hand. Place the peppermint patty on top and fold the cookie dough around the patty to cover it completely.
- Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cracked and no longer glossy.
- Cool slightly before serving, or cool completely before packaging for gifts.
- Optional: decorate with the canned frosting and crushed candy canes on top.
Notes
- This recipe makes either 20 small cookies or 8 large cookies (if you use the large peppermint patties.
- Bring your cream cheese and butter to room temperature so you don't get lumps.
- If frosting your cookies, make sure to let them cool completely
