Mint Chocolate Cookies with Mint Frosting
Dec 29, 2022 08:59 AM
Wonderful mint chocolate cookies with peppermint extract, rich dark chocolate flavor and a delicious, colorful mint frosting. These easy mint chocolate cookies taste just like a peppermint patty! Top with crushed candies and sprinkles for a fun holiday cookie everyone will love.
They seriously taste just like a peppermint patty or a mint oreo. I first made them as mint chocolate sandwich cookies but decided to dial it back a bit with just a frosted cookie.
Obviously, feel free to sandwich two of these babies together for an even more epic combo (I won’t tell).
