These Mint-Chocolate Sandwich Cookies come together quickly. With only a few ingredients you can make something cute and delicious!
Mmm.. Christmas cookies! Although I didn't grow up baking Christmas cookies, is something I enjoy doing now. The summer in Paraguay discourages me to bake, but the joy of making cookies and sharing them with friends during Christmas wins every year. The other day a friend was asking for an easy cookie recipe and I gave her this S'mores cookie recipe. That weekend when I was doing my shopping, I thought it would be a good idea to start my Christmas recipes with something similar, and so I bought a package of cake mix. Using a cake mix makes baking these mint cookies, fast and easy, with just a few ingredients. And what goes well with mint? Chocolate of course! The filling is simple. A little chocolate and cream and you have a creamy, melt in your mouth filling. This recipe is so simple and with so many possibilities for different flavors. What other flavors would you make?More Christmas Cookies:
