How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine cake mix, eggs, water, cooking oil, and cocoa. You will need to blend this together well; this will be a very sticky mess. Let stand for 20 minutes, and then shape into very small 1/2 inch balls. Place these balls on a cookie sheet 2 inches a part, and smash down flat. You will need to spray a large spoon with Pam to make them flat. Bake for about 8 minutes. Let cool until they reach room temperature.
  • Heat chocolate chips in either the microwave, or in a double boiler. When completely melted add a couple drops of the mint flavoring. Be careful not to add too much, it is a powerful flavoring. You can either spread the melted chocolate on the cookies, or you can dip the cookies into the chocolate.
  • Or you can buy you a bag of Keebler’s Grasshopper Cookies. This taste is close; you might want to experiment by adding a little more cocoa to the cookies. Oh yes, Duncan Hines is my pick on cake mixes, just like Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Chips, actually any of the Semi Sweet Chips will be fine

    Thank you for this "copycat recipe"! I can almost taste the Girl scout cookies --used to sell them! -- as I read the recipe. Very tempting to bake them right now. 55555

    Thanks for the recipe and the tips that go along. I love these cookies and have been buying them for many, many years! I also like the tip of just getting a bag of Keeblers Grasshopper Cookies, too! 5UP
