With the holidays in full swing, many of us are in the kitchen cooking and baking up a storm, have a to-do list a mile long, and add to that the stress of holiday gatherings and Christmas parties. Is it any wonder most of us feel stressed during the holidays?
I try to reduce some of my holiday stress by taking shortcuts when I can. I’m going to let my little secret out of the bag …….. I’m a big fan of the bagged cookie mixes, and I don’t hesitate to use them in some of my holiday baking!
What if I told you that you could make a cool chocolate mint cookie in no time with just a few simple ingredients?
Of course, you could make these using a basic sugar or butter cookie recipe from scratch, but if you’re pressed for time (and less mess) this is a great alternative! Leaving you with more time for shopping, wrapping or dancing to your favorite holiday tunes!

Notes
from Betty Crocker Recipes
*NOTES:
The green food color is just to give the cookies a “mint” look, but you can certainly eliminate it if you wish.
I used CK leaf green gel food color and just a bit of Americolor bright white gel food color.
Doughmaker Aluminum cookie sheet is a great pan for cookie baking.
That’s my secret to stress free holiday baking!
These cookies would also be perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day treat!
