Ingredients

Cookies

1

box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ devil’s food cake mix

1/3

cup vegetable or canola oil

2

eggs

Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting

1

jar (7 to 7 1/2 oz) marshmallow creme

1

cup butter or margarine, softened

2

cups powdered sugar

1

teaspoon vanilla

Garnish

1/3

cup finely crushed peppermint candies

Directions

• 1Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
• 2In large bowl, mix cake mix, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed until soft dough forms. Scoop dough by level tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set and slightly crispy. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheets. Remove to cooling racks to cool completely.
• 3To make frosting, in large bowl, beat marshmallow creme and 1 cup butter with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spoon 2 tablespoons frosting onto each of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
• 4Roll edges of cookies in crushed peppermint candies.
• Expert Tips
• Use crushed toffee candy bars in place of the peppermint for a chocolate-caramel twist. Make these mini! Spoon dough by rounded teaspoons instead of tablespoons, and bake 6 to 9 minutes. Fill with buttercream, and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
