Peppermint Candy Cookies

A quick batch of peppermint cookies using boxed cake mix and a few pantry staples. Crushed candy canes add crunch and cool mint flavor. White chocolate chips provide sweet pockets of softness amid tender crumb. Powdered sugar icing finishes with a sweet glaze and extra peppermint sprinkle. Easy tweaks to swap cake mix for spice or vanilla. Adjust candy types or chips for variety. Watch dough texture—too wet means add a touch more flour. Flattening dough ensures even baking and characteristic cracking on top. Cool fully before glazing to avoid melting. Cookies snap and smell sharply of mint as they bake.
