Ingredients:
1 package dark chocolate cake mix
1 egg
2 tsp. peppermint extract
1/2 cup butter or margarine, well softened


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix all ingredients until well blended. Roll into small, smooth balls and place on cookie sheet an inch or two apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. (Take them out when they still appear slightly doughy, and let them sit a few moments on the pan. They harden as they cool, but if you leave them in the oven too long, the bottoms will get crispy.)
Note: For a drier dough, use only the egg yolk.
Extra: Dip the tops of the warm cookies in powdered sugar. But do not inhale as you put the cookie in your mouth! :)
