Ingredients
- 1 (18.25 ounce) box white or yellow cake mix*
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 30-36 individual Andes mints, unwrapped
* Chocolate cake mix can be used, but increase vegetable oil from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup.
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- With a spoon, mix cake mix, eggs and oil together in a bowl. Flatten a ball of dough around a chocolate mint. Make sure candy is completely covered with dough.

- Remove cookies and place on nonstick rack to cool.
Notes
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
