Preparation

Step 1

Combine the cake mix, butter, and egg and mix until a soft dough forms. Add the cream cheese and beat again. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
Roll the dough into 24 even dough balls. Flatten each ball slightly and form around a mini Peppermint Pattie. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Do not over bake! They may look underdone, but they will set up. Cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then remove to parchment paper to cool completely.
Melt the CandiQuik according to package directions. Drizzle over each cookie and top with sprinkles. Let set. Store in a sealed container.
Yield: 24 cookies
