Ingredients

½ cup butter , softened
8 ounce package cream cheese , softened
1 egg
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 box Devil's Food cake mix
1 cup mint chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter and 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Mix in one egg and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and stir until combined. Add cake mix and stir until smooth. Then fold in the mint chips. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 20 minutes.
Once chilled, roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Add a few more mint chips on top if desired.
Bake for 11-13 minutes. Allow to cool on pan for a few minutes and then remove to cooling rack. The centers will harden as they cool. You want them to be soft.
