Oreo Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Saturday night, baking night y'all. I have a million peppermint chip bags right now (more on that later) so I decided on something with peppermint. After scouring my Pinterest boards, I found a good one. Let's dive in.

2 boxes white cake mix 

2 stick butters, melted 

2 egg

1 tsp peppermint extract

1 tsp vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cup Peppermint Oreo cookie chunks (I reckon regular Oreos would work, but I had peppermint, so I used those)

2 cup Andes Peppermint chips

1 cup chocolate chips

Combine the cake mix, melted butter, egg, and extracts. Beat until a dough forms. Add the cream cheese and beat in gently until combined. Add the peppermint chips and chocolate chips first. Then gently stir in the cookie pieces by hand being careful not to break up the cookie more. Refrigerate dough for about 45 minutes. 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using my cookie scoop, I scooped cookie dough of about a tablespoon onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, so if you hand roll be careful, the dough is pretty sticky. Bake sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. No less. Literally, they will not look cooked, but please, trust me, I am trusty. Let them sit on the hot cookie sheet for like, 5-8 minutes more (I'll be honest, I left them there until the next ones came out, I'm lazy) to finish cooking, and then move them to a wire rack. Let them chill on the rack until completely cool. Store in a sealed container. I think this made...like 50-something cookies. You could halve it for less, but I make many cookies, since many teenagers come to my house. 

And that's it! These are super delicious, and I recommend them.
