Chocolate Peppermint Cake Cookies

Chocolate Peppermint Cake Cookies are a delightful treat that combines rich chocolate cake flavors with the refreshing taste of peppermint, all wrapped up in a delectable cookie package. 

 

Topped with a generous layer of smooth vanilla icing and a garnish of peppermint candy, these cookies are the perfect blend of sweetness and holiday cheer! – And, by the way, they can be considered “cheater” cookies, since they are baked with Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix, Peanut Butter & Co. Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Peppermint Schnapps, there’s not really a whole lot YOU have to do!

1 pkg. Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix
