Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, and oil until fully combined. The dough will be thick.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are soft. Let cool completely.
For the frosting, beat butter, powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
Spread frosting on cooled cookies.
To make ganache, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream and drizzle over frosted cookies.
Let the ganache set before serving.

Notes

✔ Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it’s too soft.
✔ Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
✔ For extra minty flavor, add crushed Andes Mints into the dough.
