Ingredients:

Chewy Jujube Cookies

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 2 large eggs, well beaten
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (250 mL) Jujubes, cut in half

Minty Double Chocolate Cookies

  • 1 box devil’s food cake mix
  • 2 large eggs, well beaten
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) peppermint extract
  • 2 pkgs milk chocolate mint buds

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine cake mix, eggs and butter until smooth. Portion into 1 tbsp (15 mL) sized balls and set 4-5 cm apart on prepared baking trays.
  • Bake 6-7 minutes. Remove trays from the oven. Decorate using jujubes (cut side down) or mint buds, pressing firmly into the cookies to ensure they stick. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes longer or until just starting to brown around the edges. Cool completely on the tray before serving.
