Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F

Step 2

Mix together cake mix, cream cheese, butter and egg.

Step 3

Portion into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls (I used a cookie scoop to help with this). You should end up with approximately 20 cookie balls.

Step 4

Take one ball and flatten it in your hand. Place the peppermint patty on top and fold the cookie dough around the patty to cover it completely.

Step 5

Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cracked and no longer glossy.

Step 7

Cool slightly before serving, or cool completely before packaging for gifts.
