How to make Grasshopper Chocolate Cookies
- Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs together (do not follow the directions on the back of the cake mix- disregard them completely. You’re only using the powder mixture from the box).
- Drop spoonfuls of the 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.
- Mix together all the ingredients for the frosting. You can add more or less powdered sugar until you get the consistency you like. Spread on top of each cooled cookie.
- To make the ganache, melt chocolate chips and butter together in a double boiler OR in a microwave. If you’re using a microwave, melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is completely 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.
- Let the chocolate harden, then serve.

Other Variations
Not a fan of peppermint? These combinations would be good, too:
- Orange frosting and flavoring for a “chocolate orange” cookie
- Raspberry frosting and pink coloring (like the filling from these brownies)
- Cream cheese frosting (like this recipe)
- Vanilla flavoring in the frosting (instead of peppermint)

Notes
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.
