Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Combine cake mix, eggs, butter (make sure you let it cool a little so it doesn't cook the eggs), vanilla and sugar. That batter will be stiff.

Make dough balls a little larger than a tablespoon and place on cookie sheets to bake. (You may want to pat each dough ball down a little bit because cake mix cookies tend to bake up tall.)

Bake for 7-9 minutes and let cool on cooling racks.

Mint Frosting: Beat butter for 2 minutes. Add peppermint extract and slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Add 1-2 tablespoons milk if it gets too thick. Add green dye for color if desired.

Chocolate Glaze: Melt chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-proof bowl. Zap for about 30 seconds, then stir, then microwave in 10 second increments and stir until smooth.

To assemble: Pipe on frosting, smooth over with a knife, spoon on your glaze and top with peppermint candies.
