1 pouch Betty Crocker™ chocolate chunk cookie mix
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 egg
8 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Red and green food color
24 hard round peppermint candies, unwrapped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease 24 mini muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray. Generously sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder or flour; tap off any excess.
  • In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix, 1/2 cup of the butter and the egg until dough forms. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place each ball in mini muffin cup.

  • Remove muffin pan from oven. With rounded handle of wooden rolling pin, press small indentation into each cookie to form cup. Cool completely before removing from muffin cups.

  • Pipe frosting into each cookie cup. Garnish each with peppermint candy.
