chocolate, chocolate wafer, cookies, frosting, icing, mini chocolate chips, mint, sandwich, shamrock, St. Patrick"s Day
Now that March has arrived …
I start thinking about green food for St. Patrick’s Day.
When I think of green dessert, the first flavor that comes to mind … is mint.
What goes with mint … chocolate of course!
I had leftover icing/frosting in the fridge … it just made sense to use it up! Since we had Mexican for dinner … mint with chocolate was a nice way to end the meal!
These cookies are so simple to assemble … I almost felt guilty when I told the family that I “made dessert” 
(Please note that I said almost felt guilty)
MINT & CHIP SANDWICH COOKIES
- 1-1/2 cups white frosting
- Peppermint oil or peppermint extract (to taste)
- Leaf green gel paste food coloring
- 20 – 24 Chocolate wafer cookies (such as Nabisco Famous)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate or candy melts
- edible shamrock decorations
- wax paper or parchment lined tray
- Flavor the icing with peppermint oil … the oil is very strong, start with a few drops and taste before adding more!
- Color the icing … start with a drop or two.
- Add chocolate chips to the icing and stir to combine.
- Take a chocolate wafer cookie … add a scoop of the icing mixture … place another wafer cookie on top … gently press down. Chill for a few minutes.
- Dip 1/2 of the cookie in melted chocolate and lay on prepared tray … lay shamrock decoration on melted chocolate. Chill for a few minutes and serve.
- Store cookies in an air tight container in the fridge. Makes 10 to 12 sandwich cookies.
I enjoy your comments

With my mint chocolate I made Jamesson chocolate bites
That sounds absolutely wonderful
I just LOVE all your great ideas – You make me want to bake and create! I always enjoy making these creative type goodies and giving them away to neighbors, garbage man, mail lady, etc… they so appreciate it too. Keep ‘em coming! You have been given a gift and thanks for sharing it!
You are too kind … thank you
Your neighbors and everyone else must love you!
they really look so good!
Thank you Trisha
Happy St. Patty’s day to you! How cute are these little cookies. Mint and chocolate go together like a perfect marriage. It makes me miss the little thin mint girl scout cookies. Having withdrawal. Take Care, BAM
I thought the same thing about thin mints … haven’t had one yet this year
Not the very best thing to see this early in the morning (1:15am) but they sure do look yummy. I feel like a cookie monster;wanting to dive right in and eat the whole plate full.
I’ve been wanting to make some moon pies all week so what a great filling this would make for my pies. thank you
Have a wonderful weekend

1:15am !!! Are you a night owl?
wasn’[t able to get back to sleep so got up and done things around the house and went through my emails :}
I love when I see that you’ve posted another recipe! Always yummy and easy too:)
Easy peasy … it’s my motto
Brenda, you’ve come up with another good one. I’d be lazy, however, and probably dip a green icing-filled Oreo in melted chocolate. Is there a St. Paddy’s Day version of Oreos?
I just saw mint Oreos at the grocery store
Either way, Brenda, they’d make good toppers for cupcakes or a cake.
Thank you
This looks so delicious! We would love to have you link it up at The Hopeless Housewife Link Party, we are giving away a Le Creuset French Oven.
Thank you and WOW
Wow!!! I love mint. And your sandwich cookies look so delicious!! I love all the pictures; especially the green icing with the wooden spoon.., yum!
One could use the spoon to eat the icing
Most definitely!!
