Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
  • 2 large Egg
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Salted Butter Slightly softened, 2 sticks
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Mint Extract
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 6 ounces Vanilla Almond Bark Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, and oil.
  • Mix on medium speed until dough is formed. Using a small (1 inch or so) cookie scoop, scoop out one ball of each dough.
  • Place on prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for about 8 minutes or until cookies are puffed and crackly and edges are set.
  • Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, beat butter, heavy cream, and mint extract on medium speed until smooth.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add powdered sugar, beating until just combined.
  • Increase speed to medium high and beat for one minute.
  • Generously frost cooled cookies.
  • Place cookies on a wax paper lined baking sheet or plate and freeze for at least one hour, until frosting is firm and chilled.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and vegetable oil, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  • Remove cookies from freezer and dunk, frosted side down, into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  • Place cookies back on wax paper and until chocolate is firm.
  • Melt vanilla almond bark and drizzle the tops, if desired.
