These are ordinarily just Christmas cookies at our house, but sometimes they can be a nice treat. Simple and delicious. My wife originally got the recipe from one of her friends.
Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Softened Shortening (I use margarine and it works fine)
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract
1 Package Chocolate Cake Mix
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
Directions:
Mix shortening, yolk and peppermint extract until creamy.
Add cake mix; dough will stiffen until mixing by hand is necessary.
Form into balls and drop on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Cool on a rack, then roll in powdered sugar.
Wife's rating: ***(out of five) "I love everything you bake"
My rating: *** Very nice, very simple. My son gives 'em at least ****1/2.
