Delightful cookies that combine classic chocolate flavors with a refreshing peppermint twist, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1 box 15.25 oz. box Devil's Food cake mix
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, beaten
For the filling
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
For garnish
- Peppermint Crunch Sprinkles For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Devil's Food cake mix with the softened butter. Beat in the beaten egg until the mixture is smooth.
Forming Cookies
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into small balls. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a couple of inches apart. Slightly flatten them.
Baking
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until soft but set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Preparing Filling
- In another bowl, blend the softened butter with powdered sugar until smooth. Add in the milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Assembling Cookies
- Spread a generous amount of the peppermint filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Place another cookie on top to create a sandwich, and sprinkle Peppermint Crunch Sprinkles on the filling before placing the top cookie.
Serving
- Enjoy your Homemade Peppermint Oreos right away or allow them to sit for a bit to enhance the flavors.
