Ingredients for Devil's Food Andes Mint Cookies on a board.

What you’ll need to make Devil’s Food Andes Mint Cookies

  • Boxed Devil’s Food cake mix – One box – any brand will work including the store brand. Does not need to be fancy.

  • Oil – Pretty much any cooking oil may be used. We prefer vegetable or canola oil but olive or avocado oil may also be used if that’s what you have available.

  • Eggs – 2 large eggs or 3 small.

  • Andes Mints – 24 total, unwrapped and ready to go. This is the most time consuming part of the process.

How to Make Devil’s Food Andes Mint Cookies

One of our favorite easy holiday offerings, Devil’s Food Andes Mint Cookies are delicious, minty and festive. Great for sharing, they are a great addition to any holiday baking list!

Cake mix, eggs and oil in a mixing bowl.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and set the rack in the center.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cake mix, eggs and oil.

Mixed dough for Devil's Food Andes Mint Cookies

Mix until well blended, scraping sides of bowl to get all cake mix incorporated.

Scooping cookie dough with a cookie scoop and putting onto a silicone lined baking sheet

Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper.

Using a cookie scoop is not necessary but helps to make all of the cookies the same size!

Baked Devil's Food cookies before the addition of Andes Mints.

Place on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies should be set around the edges but still soft in the center.

Gently placing Andes Mints into each devil's food cookie.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press an unwrapped Andes Mint into the center of each cookie.

Letting the Andes Mints melt into each cookie on the baking sheet

Leave the cookies undisturbed for about 5 minutes. The chocolate will soften and become very shiny and melty.

Decorating the Devil's Food Andes Mint Cookies with festive holiday sprinkles.

Decorate with holiday sprinkles. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely so the mint chocolate can firm up. The chocolate will harden once the cookies have cooled. Enjoy!
