My name is Annie and I am officially a podcast junkie.

The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

I used to listen to the radio in my office while I worked but about 8 months ago I had totally had enough of listening to the same 6 songs over and over and over. I really needed something to help me pass the time and keep my mind busy. I had heard some friends mention some podcast called Serial and thought I would give it a go. I listened to the entire series in two days. Then I listened to it again. (If you haven’t listened to it stop reading this and go listen right now!) Like the rest of the world, I was totally hooked on the story and a newfound love for Sarah Koenig (I could listen to her read the phonebook I swear!)

I started binge listening to all sorts of other podcasts and now it is the only way I can work. I really like This American Life because they cover so many topics. I love that I can listen to one that is kind of funny, one that makes me cry, and then one that totally opens my eyes to something I didn’t really know about.  I have them on when I am writing, photographing, cooking, basically all the time. I have always loved a good story so it is really easy for me to get engrossed in something.That is just what I was doing when I made these Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies!

These cookies are made with…wait for it…CAKE MIX! Yes, gluten free cake mix! Hurray! These cookies are so easy. They only have 5 ingredients and they are absolutely perfect if you are new to gluten free baking because there is no measuring weird flours, no $12 bag of xanthan gum, nothing strange! And you can easily make them not gluten free by using regular cake mix. To tell you how good these are, I have made two batches of cookies in the last week for my husbands coworkers, who don’t even have to eat gluten free! So these are a sure winner!

          Hi Brianna, thanks for letting me know! It looks like FB is being glitchy and they were the problem. I went ahead and took it off so nobody else has the same issue. I am showing four entries for you on my end, one is your contact info, two fb follows and an instagram so you are all good! :) Good luck!

    I have never listened to a podcast -- can you believe it? I should try that while I make these cookies, too -- I'm all about chocolate and peppermint this time of year! And this giveaway is fabulous...it's going up tomorrow on my post. :)

    I binge-listen to Burnt Toast from food52 while cleaning. I'm hoping the side effect will be my daughter growing up to be the next big star on the foodie sky, hahaha! I love the cookies, Annie! I'm all in favour of chocolate mint treats, and I love how easy yours are to make!

      I haven't listened to those! I know it sounds crazy but I haven't gotten into the foodie ones much, I know that is crazy!! I guess I just think about food SO MUCH that it is kind of nice to have a break from it. But I will check those two out!! :)

    Ever since you told me about Serial, I've been a total podcast junkie! I don't even know how I made it this far in life without podcasts. I'm dying for season 2 of Serial to come out too! I'm also loving these cookies too, cake mix cookies are the best!

    My husband has been getting into podcasts on his walk to work, but I need to get on board! And I LOVE how easy these gluten free cookies are! Gluten free baking can be so intimidating so this is perfect. And chocolate and peppermint is one of my favorite combos.

      They really do make time fly by. I had a "deep cleaning" day earlier this week and I blew through several podcast episodes while I was cleaning and it seemed like time went by so quick! I think you would like them! :)

    Oh me! me! Me! Pick me! hehehe - I LOVE this items from Gin Kitchen. I even wrote about the tablet board in my recipe post on great gluten-free gifts for foodies! So rustic and yet, so functional for the modern kitchen! Oh, and your cookies look fan-tabulous, too! Happy to be doing this Blogger Cookie Exchange with you, Annie! ~jules

    Do the cookies spread a lot -- if so, am I looking at a dozen per sheet? Love the idea of using cake mix for a change. Thanks for coming up with the recipe.

    I've made these cookies for years before I learned I have celiac. But my recipe also called for dry roasted peanuts and coconut. I'm going to look for the gf cake mix and try to make them gf to see how they turn out!

      That sounds delicious!! I need to try it with coconut and peanuts! :) I have made these with the Glutino Cake Mix and the Betty Crocker GF Chocolate mix and they were both great!
