HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
We are having a potluck lunch at work to celebrate the day of the green. I didn’t feel like making treats from scratch, but I wanted to make something fun and festive. I came up with these minty chocolate treats that can be made with 4 ingredients. These cookies are so easy to make, and they are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy!
Chocolate Mint Thumbprint Cookies
Ingredients:
1 pkg. Refrigerated Nestle Mini Brownie Bites
1 tub Vanilla Frosting
Peppermint Extract
Green Food Coloring
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Separate brownie dough into 20 individual pieces.
- Roll into balls, place on prepared cookie sheet, and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately create small bowls in the middles of the cookies with the back of a teaspoon.
- Allow cookies to cool.
- Mix 1 1/4 tsp peppermint extract into frosting.
- Slowly mix drops of green food coloring into frosting until you reach the shade of green you desire.
- Fill the middle of the cookies with mint frosting.
that’s a great idea to use the brownie bites for the cookies…so easy and so pretty!
what a cute idea! I’m going to try these today.. and see if I dont butcher the recipe
I just drooled looking at the picture again. They look delicious!
Those are so adorable! Love the idea. YUM!
I seriously saw these in my google reader and thought “I want one of those NOW”.
they look so tasty!
Why do cookies taste better with thumbprints in them?!
I am drooling! I love everything mint and chocolate. So does my husband. I will need to make these for him very soon!
These kinda look like the St.Pattie’s cupcakes I made–two great foodie minds think alike!
Love the green color against the dark chocolate background! Hope you had a great St. Pattys.
so cute and festive!
I am normally not a huge fan of mint but I suppose I would eat 5 or 6 of these
Chocolate and mint are another one of those food relationships of flavor that compliment each other in tandem.
Love mint and this looks great!
