Cookie bottom:
1 Devil's Food Cake
Mix (I like the ones with pudding in the mix the best)1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs together (do not follow the directions on the back of the cake mix- disregard them completely). Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-9 minutes (don't cook any longer than that! You don't want them to be overdone!). Let cookies cool completely.
Peppermint Frosting:
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 Tablespoons milk
2 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
Green food coloring (optional- I added about 8 drops to get the colors of green that I had)
Mix together all the ingredients (add more or less powdered sugar until
you get the consistency you like). Spread on top of each cooled cookie.
Chocolate Topping:
2 1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. butter
Melt chocolate chips and butter together in a double boiler OR in a microwave
(I usually microwave for 30-second intervals, then stir and repeat
until the chips are fully melted). Spread melted chocolate on each
cookie- I have found that it works best to use the back of a spoon to
spread the chocolate around.

*These little cookies are super rich! I think that if you didn't want them to be so rich, use a milk chocolate cake mix and milk chocolate chips.

I don't usually add the chocolate topping, I have trouble with it melting and sliding off. But I have made these and most people I have made them for LOVE them and request them again and again.
