Hello all!  It’s that time of year – cookie baking madness has taken over many a household.  I heard from someone who baked 15 dozen cookies on Saturday, and another friend made 8 different types of cookies!  My Facebook newsfeed was filled with pictures of thumbprints, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies and all kinds of other tasty goodies!  I LOVE IT!

I too was was bitten by the cookie baking bug and of course, I made more cake mix cookies.  It’s been… well, it’s only been a few days since my last cake mix cookie post, but that’s long enough – right?!

I also took the opportunity to get out my Snoopy cookie jar!  Isn’t it cute?

In case you haven’t read any of my posts raving about cake mix cookies before, I’ll give you a quick run-down.  They are simple, customizable and delicious!  If you have never made them before, you must try them and if you have made them before then you are probably making some more right now because they are THAT GOOD!

These ones are dark chocolatey, chewy, minty Christmas cookie happiness.  If you have any mint fans in your household these are a must bake!
